Activists from communities adversely impacted by Chevron spoke out Wednesday at the oil giant’s annual shareholders meeting. The activists traveled from areas worldwide, including Ecuador, where a court has ordered Chevron to pay up to $18 billion for for dumping billions of gallons of toxic oil waste into the rain forest. A number of speakers took the microphone to question Chevron CEO John Watson. Kenneth Davis, a resident near a Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California, said, “People are dying… You steal from all over the Earth, then you process what you have taken in Richmond.”
