Chevron spent billions trying to destroy him after he won the largest pollution case in history. It’s time for Biden to end this nightmare
t’s a tale as old as time: an underdog fighting for what’s right, and a powerful giant doing everything it can to stop him. Yet in today’s America, the giants don’t lose – they rig the system to crush anyone who dares to challenge them.
Donziger’s ordeal began after he helped uncover Chevron’s decades of environmental destruction in Ecuador’s– exposing a legacy of poisoned soil, toxic waste dumped into the water, and entire villages ravaged by cancer. In 2008, I traveled to Indigenous communities with Steven and met with families and farmers whose lives and livelihoods were ruined. It was heartbreaking, but it filled both of us with anger and a conviction to fight for justice.
It’s no wonder the mistreatment of Donziger has continued to draw international outrage. In addition to the federal judges and Nobel laureates, Amnesty International and the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention have condemned Donziger’s treatment as unlawful.
