Target: US Treasury Department, Chevron Corporation, US Congress
Goal: We call on the US Treasury Department, Chevron, and relevant authorities to implement transparent, just, and environmentally responsible practices in all dealings related to Venezuelan oil imports.
The authorization granted to Chevron to resume Venezuelan oil exports marks a significant policy shift, but it also comes with serious risks. Historically, oil extraction in Venezuela has been linked to environmental degradation, labor abuses, and the undermining of local communities’ rights. The US must not allow a return to business as usual, where corporate profits are prioritized over people and the planet.
We demand full transparency in all agreements and shipments, strict adherence to environmental standards, and meaningful engagement with affected communities in Venezuela. The US must use its leverage to support democratic processes, human rights, and a just transition away from fossil fuels, rather than perpetuating extractive relationships that harm both nations.
