[From the Econet env.justice Newsgroup] => From: Communities for a Better Environment <cbebucket@igc.apc.org> => Subject: SF BAY AREA CHEVRON EVENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE! 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.
