About the event

Please join our earth day fundraiser for Steven Donziger, in conversation with James Thornton, President & Founder of ClientEarth, and Joel Reynolds, Western Director & Senior Attorney of NRDC. Taking place at the home of Sara Nichols in Los Angeles CA.

Almost 15 years ago, Steven stood with Amazon communities in Ecuador against Chevron as they won a $10 billion legal case after billions of gallons of cancer-causing oil waste was deliberately dumped into indigenous ancestral lands. Steven then faced an unthinkable backlash. Chevron's retaliation made Steven the first person prosecuted by a private corporation in the name of the government in U.S. history. Chevron’s lawyers took Steven’s passport, law license, bank accounts, and had him detained for almost three years.

Today, we're fighting back.  We’re urging President Biden to pardon Steven Donziger, so he may continue his fight against Chevron, and secure justice for the indigenous peoples of Ecuador.  This battle is a stand for justice, for the planet, for indigenous rights, and against corporate oppression. It’s about protecting the rights of all advocates to do their work without fear of corporate retaliation.  Your support can make a huge difference as we mobilize people around the world.

  • Address will be provided upon RSVP. 
  • Enjoy Appetizers, Drinks, and a musical performance by Fascinoma.
