The lawyer of the people:

Steven Donziger understands the long term. Having filed a case against Chevron in 1993, and after almost 20 years of battle, he successfully won the largest judgment for Indigenous people against a fossil fuel company's crimes and destruction in Ecuador in 2011. This led to unprecedented persecution and one of the most blatant misuses of the US legal system for corporate interests; he was ultimately jailed, put under house arrest, stripped of his personal assets, and disbarred from his legal profession. The $19 billion settlement awarded to the Indigenous people of Ecuador who were affected by the toxicity of Chevron's oil operations has never been paid.
