On Wednesday May 27, the landmark Wiwa v. Shell trial will open in U.S. federal court. Shell will finally answer to charges for its role in atrocities committed against the Ogoni people of Nigeria, including conspiring with the Nigerian military government to bring about the execution of human rights and environmental justice leader Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues.
Please join our noon-time courthouse rally to mark the historic opening of this trial and to turn up the heat on Shell.
What: Rally to mark opening of Wiwa v. Shell trial
When: Noon, Wednesday, May 27, rain or shine
Where: Foley Square, Manhattan, across from the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse (near City Hall)
Why: Because Shell doesn't want you there
Who: You, and your friends. Please spread the word.

This trial could send a shock wave – of the very best kind – through corporate boardrooms around the world. Together, we can send a message that corporations will be held accountable for human rights abuses, no matter where they occur.
We'll be there (look for our signs!) and hope you can join us. Thanks for all you do!
