In Myanmar, the military junta that took over after a coup is now shooting into people’s homes and killing innocent children. What we know is horrific : the military overturned an election, took over the country, shot at peaceful pro-democracy protesters, and is now just indiscriminately killing innocent civilians.
Meanwhile, despite US sanctions, oil and gas giant Chevron has investments in Myanmar that may be funding the military junta, potentially enabling the murder of innocent people.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to investigate Chevron’s ties to Myanmar!
Chevron has been operating natural gas production in Myanmar for years. Their recent contracts are set to expire in 2028. But now that the military has overthrown the government in a coup, it’s possible that the money Chevron pays to do business in Myanmar is going straight into the pockets of the military junta,3 and could be used against the people of Myanmar.
The US has already imposed sanctions against some Myanmar business conglomerates as a response to the coup and the shooting of protesters, but some business links appear to not be included. Natural gas production is a major source of revenue for the military junta and enables their misrule. That means that Chevron could be bypassing US sanctions and helping to arm and sustain the military junta that is now indiscriminately shooting into people’s homes and killing children.
We need to know more about Chevron’s ties to Myanmar. We owe it to the people in Myanmar fighting for freedom and democracy. That’s why it’s crucial that Congress get involved and get to the bottom of this.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to investigate Chevron’s ties to Myanmar! Thanks,
