To whom it may concern:
We are writing as gas station owners whose gas stations are affiliated with the Chevron brand. We are calling on the company to immediately end its business in Israel through its ownership and operation of gas fields and pipelines that serve the Israeli market and generate revenue for the apartheid state of Israel. We do not wish to be part of Israel’s gross human rights violations.
It is our understanding that Chevron entered the Israeli market in 2020, with the acquisition of Noble Energy, and that the company can choose to sell off this investment at any time.
As gas station owners, we are also concerned about the legal and financial risks of continuing to be associated with Chevron. We are concerned about the reputational and financial damage of potential boycotts, protests and pickets at our locations due to Chevron’s involvement in grave human rights violations worldwide.
We are calling on the Chevron brand to work to protect its independently owned and operated Chevron branded stations by immediately ending these activities that violate international law and universal human rights principles.
