End Twitch's Partnership With Chevron
Twitch needs to end its partnership at Twitchcon with Chevron.
Chevron is guilty of many international crimes stemming from its involvement in environmental disasters across South America and Africa, and also it's deep investment in and complicity with the Palestinian genocide happening in Gaza and across the Middle East.
From: https://afsc.org/chevron-fuels-israeli-apartheid-and-war-crimes
"Chevron is one of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies. By 2017, the company was responsible for approximately 3.2% of the world’s total emissions.
Chevron has yet to clean up the 16 billion gallons of toxic wastewater it deliberately dumped into Ecuador’s Amazon Rainforest between 1964 and 1990, which poisoned the lands and waters of indigenous and rural Ecuadorians in what is considered the world’s largest oil-related catastrophe.
The company has also not cleaned up pollution it left behind in the ***** Delta, which decimated the region’s ecosystem and devastated indigenous groups’ waterways, food systems, and livelihoods.
In 2021, the Chevron refinery in Richmond, California, spilled an estimated 600 gallons of oil into the San Francisco Bay, posing life-threatening contamination and exposure risks to local communities."
"Chevron operates and partially owns the largest Israeli natural gas fields, Tamar and Leviathan.
These gas fields are located in the eastern Mediterranean sea, west of Haifa. The gas from Tamar is processed in a rig that is located farther south, off the coast of Isdud/Ashdod.
Chevron also operates and partially owns the East Mediterranean Gas (EMG) Pipeline, which runs from Israel to Egypt, off the shores of the Gaza Strip."
For Twitch to truly represent the values of the community within it, it must choose partnerships and sponsorships more wisely. This begins with ending it's association with Chevron, a company that directly threatens the livelihoods of every life on Earth with it's environmental destruction and direct benefitting from wars.

Boycott and divest from Chevron! Do it for the folks with health issues caused by the refinery in Richmond, for the Amazon Rainforest, and for the kids in Palestine that will never get to grow up. Free Palestine, end fossil fuel dependency, and stop partnering with Chevron!

What a murderous company to partner with do you even have any idea how many deaths and cancer kids this company is responsible for in just equador? Do better Dan Clancy. Chock up some more child murders from Gaza and the West Bank. And what they've done in a African country that can't be named because of your speech moderation policies.

I fully agree with this statement! Chat, Google Steven Donzinger and how he was wrongly put on house arrest for trying to fight back against Chevron.

I was horrified to see that Chevron was the main sponsor of Twitch Con, especially right now with their involvement in both the destruction of the planet and the genocide in Gaza. Please find other sponsors.
