A Protest Against Chevron Paying Royalties to Burmese Government: What Should A Shareholder Do?

Tuesday, October 9th was designated (I still can't figure out exactly by whom) a day of protest against Chevron (CVX - $92.30) and its paying of royalties to the regime in Burma (Myanmar).

Information about the protest and how you can participate be found at this Chevron Protest Blogspot posting.

Amy Goodman explains why she thinks the protest is necessary and how it might help at her Truthdig blog. While I agree with her sentiment, I think I've found a better way to remain engaged.

Chevron defends their involvment in Myranmar (Burma) and deliniates some of what they are doing to support NGO's trying to help the situation. They also state their support for the people of Burma clearly, "Chevron supports the calls for a peaceful resolution to the current situation in Myanmar in a way that respects the human rights of the people of Myanmar." I'd like to help them follow through on that support.

So what am I going to do?

Climate Related Shareholder Resolutions from the 2007 Proxy Season

Wondering how the planet's atmosphere is faring at shareholder meetings?

Ceres is an organization that is interested in "sustainable prosperity." My favorite of the Ceres activities is their shareholder resolution work and the roundup of corporate resolutions.  A quick report card on the various companies is quite clear.

I quickly ran across some oil companies that I own or follow.  I found that, even though my ownership choices of integrated oil and energy companies is mostly determined by their relative futures prospects current valuations compared to expected future valuations, these choices matched nicely with more cooperative companies.
