Chevron tried to silence me by locking me up for 993 days. It failed. Now it is time to take our campaign bigger, wider, and higher with the goal of reaching millions across the globe and galvanizing them to take action to help the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon and address the planetary crisis.
I am thrilled to announce I have launched a Substack! I will post articles, commentary and videos on the Ecuador case and climate and justice issues in a space totally free from corporate censorship. This is a journalistic endeavor built around my writings and analysis designed to move the conversation about climate justice and human rights forward and higher.
This is the perfect time to come together to build our movement for environmental justice to the highest possible level so we can force Chevron to comply with court judgments that it clean up its toxic mess in Ecuador — and so we can tackle broader issues of human rights violations and environmental crimes. Chevron is just one obstacle to justice. The fossil fuel industry as a whole is a huge problem if we want our species and precious ecosystem to survive.
Many of you already have donated generously to our defense fund for which we are deeply appreciative. We are still going to be seeking support for that fund as the Amazon communities engage lawyers to try to enforce their historic pollution judgment against Chevron and I continue to defend myself from attacks from the company’s 60 law firms. But my Substack project is different.
The good news is you can subscribe to my Substack for free. However, if you become a paid subscriber at $6 monthly or a founding member at $250, we will have more resources to do even more reporting and writing – and you will get some pretty cool premium content on top of it, including regular Zoom calls with me and other cutting-edge thinkers on the frontlines of climate and justice issues.
SIGN UP NOW: Subscribers will get access to a weekly article, newsletter, or post, as well as periodic podcasts where I will talk to leading climate thinkers and frontline Earth Defenders. As indicated, those who become paying subscribers will get access to premium content not available elsewhere. Check out our latest post and subscribe to our Substack today.
Your subscription will support my writing, journalism, commentary and advocacy as a human rights lawyer and Earth Defender whose mission is to help Indigenous peoples in the Amazon and to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable. My goal is to use Substack to build possibilities for everyone — lawyers, activists, and concerned citizens — to learn and act to help save our world from crisis.
No matter what Chevron and the U.S. judiciary throw at me, I will not turn my back on my clients in Ecuador nor on the larger battle for human rights and judicial accountability around the world. My background in law, human rights, journalism, climate, and frontline litigation provides a broad perspective that will inform my point of view. My goal is to provide information and perspective connected to empowerment and action for all people.
I am convinced our side has the power to prevail: anyone can make a difference alone, but together we can create a powerful and even unstoppable force. Please check out our latest post and subscribe.
We need community now more than ever. I would be so grateful if you could join me in this space to experience the exciting possibilities and to see how far we can go together.
Thank you,
Steven Donziger |
