Dear Friends,

Chevron is ramping-up a malicious misinformation campaign directed at Goldman Environmental Prize winners from Ecuador Pablo Fajardo and Luis Yanza for their efforts to make the company clean up what experts believe is the world's worst oil-related disaster.  The award for lawyer Pablo Fajardo Mendoza and community leader Luis Yanza comes just days after a court-appointed expert submitted an official damages assessment to the Ecuadorian judge recommending that Chevron be ordered to pay compensation of between $7 billion and $16 billion.

Amazon Watch, in support of Pablo, Luis and the 30,000 plaintiffs is striking back by launching a new  flash animation by syndicated political cartoonist Mark Fiore.

Also read the letter Pablo and Luis sent to Chevron yesterday in response to the company's full page attack ads against them:  Letter to David O'Reilly, Correcting Chevron's Distorted Claims about Ecuador Trial

Please watch our animation, please spread the word. Please consider adding a link to it from your site.
