Make Big Oil Pay! March and Civil Disobedience
March Targets Chevron and EPA with Direct Action at BP Headquarters in San Francisco
On August 30th, the Mobilization for Climate Justice West marched in downtown San Francisco to the office buildings of Chevron, BP, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to demand accountability from "Big Oil." Near BP's San Francisco headquarters, at the intersection of Mission and New Montgomery, the march stopped and blocked traffic. Fourteen activists refused to leave the intersection and were arrested by police.

On the 5-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Mobilization for Climate Justice demanded:
1. Moratorium on New Offshore Drilling. No Use of Dispersants.
2. Full Access to Media and Civil Society.
3. Big Oil corporations pay their debt to all impacted communities - Gulf Coast to Richmond, CA and around the world.
4. Big Oil pay for community livelihood and ecosystem restoration, clean energy, public transportation, and healthcare for impacted communities.
