WHY:
Chevron Corp. of San Ramon (formerly Unocal), a California oil corporation,
is involved in a joint-venture with Burma’s brutal and repressive military
regime. The military maintains its stranglehold on Burma’s people with weapons
bought with foreign currency gained from natural gas sale to Thailand through
Chevron's pipeline, the regime's lifeline. While the electricity is scarce in Burma,
the regime pockets hundreds of millions annually. As the world has witnessed
repeatedly in recent years, soldiers and military thugs have been crushing the pro-democracy protests. Many
activists and monks have been disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and
killed. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is still under house arrest and 2,000
pro democracy monks and activists are being held in inhumane conditions in
Burmese prisons.
To stop the military dictatorship in Burma, we must stop the Chevron involvement in Burma.
