Activist Shareholders & Supporters Protest True Cost of Chevron

by Jeff Paterson, Courage to Resist (jeff [at] paterson.net)
SAN RAMON, CA (May 27, 2009) - Mayor of Richmond Gayle McLaughlin attended the Chevron Shareholder's meeting, along with delegates representing Nigeria, Burma, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Philippines, and Canada. The delegates introduced to the meeting this year's alternative Chevron annual report: The True Cost of Chevron. Board Chair David O'Reilly was reported, by the delegates, to have said that the alternative report was "an insult and should have been thrown in the trash". The annual report documents the ecological and human damage caused by mismanagement of infrastructure, laborers, and the environment. (Description by SanRamonCopWatch)
