25] – The Oil & Gas Action Network [ilonka@oilgasaction.org] on Wed., Jan. 28 at 8 PM ET will host a Call From Venezuela to Palestine, Boycott Chevron. Big Oil has been behind fueling authoritarianism, destabilizing countries and fueling wars around the world for decades. Now, the same administration that is terrorizing our neighbors in Minnesota and across the U.S. is using military might to extract oil under another nation's land. The federal aggression towards black and brown people crosses the border freely. Since 2022, the Palestinian-led BDS movement has been calling for a consumer boycott of Chevron. The Big Oil Corporation supplies gas to fuel nearly half of Israel’s electricity grid, including Israeli military bases. Now, Chevron is raking in the profits from Trump’s military invasion of Venezuela as the only U.S. oil corporation currently operating there.
