Organizers from Chevron Out of Palestine, Oil & Gas Action Network, Scientist Rebellion, Palestinian Youth Movement, and Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) Movement passed out stickers to protestors, solidifying the call to expose Chevron’s complicity in “fueling the genocide.” According to organizers, this was the seventh protest in the Bay Area this year against the oil giant, which is one of Israel’s largest power sources.
A half-hour later, the group made their way along a dirt-paved trail parallel to a lake that sits within Chevron’s headquarters. Dressed in keffiyehs, protesters carried signs that read, “Boycott Chevron” and “Chevron Out of Palestine,” while chanting, “Chevron, Chevron, you can’t hide, you are fueling genocide!” Meanwhile, at the center of the lake, activists stationed on three boats unfurled a banner that read, “Boycott Chevron.”
