Activists Raise Environmental Concerns at Chevron Meeting
---------------------------------------------------------



Activists gathered in and outside a shareholders meeting for the oil
giant Chevron Wednesday in an attempt to call attention to the company’s
environmental practices. Activist shareholders were able to address the
meeting and propose a motion calling for a report evaluating Chevron’s
environmental record. Hundreds of people also gathered outside for a
protest against Chevron’s practices in several countries. Chevron is
facing a $27 billion damage claim over jungle pollution in Ecuador.
