Urge Exxon to pay the punitive damaages it owes to Valdez victims (Save Our Environment) ) "It's been 18 years since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and ExxonMobil still has not paid the punitive damages it owes to the victims of the spill.

During this time 6,000 people have died waiting for compensation." Send a fax to ExxonMobil's CEO and Board Chair and tell them to stop appealing the guilty verdicts and pay the damages they owe.
