Five environmental activists with the Rainforest Action Network descended over the edge of the bottom level of the Richmond Bridge and unfurled a 30′x50′ foot banner message directed at Chevron: “Chevron Guilty: Clean Up Amazon.” The protest came two days before Chevron’s Annual Shareholder meeting at its San Ramon, CA headquarters, the first shareholder meeting since the company was found guilty of massive oil contamination in the Ecuadorean Amazon and ordered to pay $18 billion dollars.
