The fossil fuel industry and its allies in government continue to target renowned human rights lawyer Steven Donziger for helping Amazon communities in Ecuador win a landmark $10 billion pollution judgment against Chevron. Steven needs our support — as do the Indigenous and farmer communities in Ecuador who are leading the way in trying to hold Chevron accountable and save our planet.

PRESS RELEASE 6/26/2024
Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri calls out Chevron's unconscionable assault on Steven Donziger's work, life, and livelihood as "part of an authoritarian movement around the world to crush dissent, protest, and advocacy for human rights." The Congresswoman called on the White House to go beyond simple condemnation of Chevron's egregious misconduct, but to "pardon Steven immediately and force Chevron and all polluters to pay up."
Amnesty International USA's National Director of Government Relations and Advocacy Amanda Klasing reaffirms the organization's unwavering support for Steven Donziger and all human rights defenders facing persecution for their work. "Corporations cannot be allowed to misuse the U.S. judicial system to target and harrass human rights activists particularly among the global climate crisis," she says. "President Biden, you should pardon Steven immediately."
