The Shocking Price For Standing Up To Big Oil w/ Steven Donziger #478

This podcast is a picture of what a hero looks like. Steven Donziger is a US-based environmental lawyer. He was part of a legal team that earned a major environmental judgment against Chevron Corporation on behalf of Indigenous and local communities in Ecuador.  Chevron responded with a civil racketeering lawsuit and a massive defamation media campaign targeting Steven and his clients.  In 2019, Chevron obtained a judicial order requiring Steven to give Chevron access to his computers and online accounts, which contained decades of attorney-client communications.  When Steven refused, Chevron engineered the filing of criminal contempt of court charges. When the public prosecutor refused to prosecute the case, the unprecedented appointment of a private prosecutor drawn from a law firm Chevron has worked with in the past.  Steven was required to wear an ankle bracelet and confine himself to his two-bedroom apartment for nearly three years of pre-trial litigation. He was denied a jury but sentenced to the maximum sentence possible for a non-jury offense, which he served in part in a federal penitentiary and in part at home.  The US court continues to hold his passport, preventing him from traveling for work or other advocacy.  | Steven Donziger | Website: https://www.freedonziger.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevendonziger/ X: https://x.com/SDonziger | Aubrey Marcus | Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2GesYqi ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook | ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter |⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAd⁠⁠⁠⁠ Check out "Own your Day, Own Your Life" by Aubrey Marcus | ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2vRz4so⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/email⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠To partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast: iTunes | ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Stitcher | ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt ⁠⁠⁠⁠ IHeartRadio | ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Google Podcasts | ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3nzCJEh ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Android | ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/2OQeBQg
