Dear Friends,

Please join us in raising our voices in demanding a world with
respect for communities and the Earth, a world free of racism
and repression, a world with social justice for all.

Please join us in raising our voices to protest the abuses of
Chevron, California's largest corporation.  Chevron gathers
wealth from communities of color and leaves behind pollution.
At home it ignores community demands for an end to pollution,
and overseas it cooperates with military attacks against its
critics.  It supports more prisons in California, and then
profits from prison labor.  It promises development, but
produces more and more inequality.

The following is a list of events being organized to bring a
presence to Chevron's Annual Shareholder's meeting:

*April 23 ... 12noon to 6pm
Cellspace 2050 Bryant Street @ 16th street in San Francisco
Popular education, banner and prop making, and street theatre
preparations for the upcoming events.

*April 24 ... 5:30pm
Meet at 2nd and Market Streets in San Francisco
Remembrance procession for Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was executed in
1995 by the Nigerian goverment for leading the Ogoni people's
campaign against Shell Petroleum.  As his family is finally able
to put his body to rest in his homeland, we march in remembrance
of him and in support of the Ogoni struggle for justice.

April 26...8:30am return mid-day
Ashby BART in Berkeley

On April 26, Chevron's shareholders will gather for its annual
meeting in its tree-lined San Ramon headquarters.  With our
voices, with music, with street theater, we will bring home the
struggle to change Chevron.  Buses will be used to transport
people from Ashby BART in Berkeley to the suburbs of San Ramon.
