As long as the financial system continues to back fossil fuel expansion in the Amazon, it remains complicit in environmental destruction and human rights violations.

Federico Borman, member of an Indigenous community impacted by oil operations, said his aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and father “have died or are dying of cancer tied to oil contamination.”

“To think their own country—my country—has to pay the company that began it all makes me sick,” he added.

Ecuador MUST NOT pay corporate criminal Chevron a single dime. Chevron ADMITTED to polluting the Amazon and twisted the international arbitration system with false evidence and bribed witnessed to make the very people it poisoned pay for the "privilege". Completely disgusting! #EndChevron
