WASHINGTON, April 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy giant Chevron is under fire for its decision to continue to support the Myanmar military, which has killed more than 700 people, including at least 47 children. On Friday, half a dozen demonstrations took place in cities around the US organized by the International Campaign for the Rohingya, SumOfUs, and many other groups -- in San Francisco, LA, Houston, Denver, New York and Washington DC.

Outside Chevron's offices in DC, Chevron's new DC lobbyist Craig Hall was depicted on a piñata which protesters took turns batting. A mobile billboard was parked outside Chevron's office for several hours on Friday, shaming the company for their continued support of the brutal military regime.
