Representatives of indigenous and farming communities from Ecuador’s Amazon have brought their 15-year battle for justice to Chevron’s doorstep. Luis Yanza, winner of the 2008 Goldman Environmental Prize, and Emergildo Criollo, a leader of the Cofán indigenous people who were decimated by oil operations on their territory are addressing CEO David O’Reilly before shareholders at the company Annual General Meeting today in San Ramon, California. A protest by a large coalition of human rights and environmental organizations is taking place outside the building.
