Action for Palestine – Boycott Caltex Edition.
📅 July 23rd
🕐 6pm
📍 Albion Peace Centre, 102 McDonald Road, Windsor
Join us this Wednesday to organise against Caltex/Chevron here in Magan-djin. We will be strategising, upskilling and supporting the community to create an impactful and sustainable campaign against the fossil fuel giant fuelling and funding the state of Israel and the IOF.
There will be something for everyone at this meeting, no matter your background, skills or experience. Come along and help organise against Caltex/Chevron here in Magan-djin.
Bring a plate to share if you can.
The Centre is a short walk from Albion Train Station. There is street parking in the area.
Israel’s genocide machine couldn’t run without power from Chevron (trading as “Caltex” in Australia). As Israel indiscriminately bombs Palestinians in Gaza and destroys all life-sustaining infrastructure, Chevron supplies energy via the operation and co-ownership of two Israeli-claimed gas fields off the Palestinian coast.
Beyond generating power, Chevron is also funneling millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israeli government coffers, directly fueling Israel’s system of settler colonialism and violence against all Palestinians. In 2022, those revenues amounted to over $462 million.
Especially in light of recent international court rulings determining that CEOs of companies doing business in Israel can be found liable for aiding and abetting genocide, now is the time to escalate grassroots pressure against complicit corporations like Chevron.
Chevron is complicit in genocide and ecocide. As Israel cuts off Palestinians’ water and land rights, destroys crops, and steals resources, companies like Chevron rake in millions of dollars through infrastructure projects that underpin Israel’s system of violence. In Palestine, here, and all over the world, the fight against colonialism and corporations’ destruction of the planet are intrinsically linked.
Chevron has been sued repeatedly for its involvement in violence against indigenous communities around the world, including at least 13 accusations of genocide and 17 accusations of torture. The company’s activities have played a role in the destruction of marginalized people’s homes, resources, and livelihoods in at least 30 countries.
We cannot allow for our planet to be made uninhabitable and for indigenous and marginalized peoples to be attacked and erased by colonial, racist, and capitalist forces. Not in Palestine. Not anywhere.

The soils that labourers till: remaking histories of enclosure and global capitalism
Saturday, July 12, 2025 · 2:00 – 4:00pm
250 Boundary St, Highgate Hill QLD 4101, Australia.
On Saturday July 12th, historian and political activist Humphrey McQueen will join us at the Kurilpa Commons to investigate the historical relationship of colonisation in Australia to the global expansions of capitalism. Humphrey builds on a lifetime of both scholarship and political involvement in Australian history, tracing back to the struggles against the Vietnam war and conscription.

A big thank you to Humphrey McQueen and Peter Curtis and to the participants of the discussion at Kurilpa Commons on Sunday.
It was great sitting there in nature beside the mighty Maiwar under the trees with birds flying in and out in the beautiful Kurilpa Commons discussing socialist principles … it could have been a moment in the 19th century but instead it was today in the 21st century.
Special thanks to Elina for organising the event, to the Commons crew for providing the space and to Solidarity Resources for providing the sound equipment.
