Overview
- Marchers opposing CERAWeek, which began Monday, moved from Houston City Hall to the George R. Brown Convention Center to meet attendees where they gathered.
- Local and national groups joined forces, including Fenceline Watch, Texas Campaign for the Environment, and Indigenous participants from Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, and the Laguna Pueblo.
- The event drew a heavy police escort with more than 50 officers, nearly half on horseback, and it ended without the arrests seen outside the conference in 2025.
- Speakers linked refinery and plastics pollution to health harms in frontline neighborhoods and tied fossil-fuel expansion to conflicts in places like Venezuela and Iran, while some promoted a “boycott Chevron” effort.
- CERAWeek, a major S&P Global conference that convenes oil companies and tech partners such as Google and Amazon Web Services, drew crowd estimates that ranged from more than 100 to about 500 depending on the outlet.
