Today marks my 697th day of house arrest — second July 4th holiday with the black claw shackled to my ankle. We will not rest until Chevron complies with the law and pays what it owes to the Indigenous peoples it poisoned. #FreeDonziger

I've decided that even after Covid restrictions are relaxed I will not be shaking hands again. You're just going to have to trust me that I am not hiding a weapon in my hand with which to kill you.

This weekend marks #600Days of house arrest after winning the historic pollution case against Chevron. Supporters are organizing a #600Days rally outside my NYC apartment (245 W 104th) at 11am Saturday. I'll be speaking from the 7th floor. Come make some noise. ✊
