The law firm Gibson Dunn has crossed every red line imaginable in their work shielding corporate polluters from climate accountability, attacking Indigenous rights, + persecuting @SDonziger.

Today we are formally launching a law student boycott of @gibsondunn #DoneWithDunn (1/7)

We and 87 law student orgs from across the country have called on Gibson Dunn to do the bare minimum for 8 months. They have refused.

We have no choice left but to refuse to be a part of Gibson Dunn’s unjust work. Sign the boycott letter here (2/7) tinyurl.com/boycottgibsond…

Gibson Dunn does an unbelievable amount of work harming the climate and Indigenous communities. They are the primary lawyers advancing the Dakota Access Pipeline's incursion on Native land. Gibson Dunn has worked to help Chevron evade climate accountability in 15 lawsuits. (3/7)

Gibson Dunn is also trying to remove the vital protections in the Indian Child Welfare Act.

And their tactics are outrageous. Courts have called @gibsondunn's conduct "legal thuggery," "unacceptable shenanigans," + “blatantly + maliciously trying to intimidate” opponents (4/7)

And shockingly, Gibson Dunn has waged a scorched-earth campaign to ensure that Chevron evades liability for dumping billions of gallons of toxic waste in Ecuadorian Indigenous and campesino communities.

Chevron has paid zero compensation to these communities (5/7)

Gibson Dunn didn't stop there. They used coercion and falsified evidence to demonize the communities' lawyer, @SDonziger. A corporate prosecution has now put him in prison.

Chevron and Gibson Dunn want to send the message that anyone who challenges them will be punished (6/7)

We won't stand by as @gibsondunn undermines the fairness of our legal system, Indigenous rights, and a livable future.

Law firms choose their clients. Young lawyers choose where to work. And we refuse to work for Gibson Dunn. Sign the letter here: tinyurl.com/boycottgibsond… (7/7)
