HOUSTON (AP) — A group of human rights advocates with a booth critical of the Chevron Houston Marathon’s title sponsor was expelled from the marathon expo Friday for painting the company “in a negative light.”
Steven Karpas, the managing director of the Houston Marathon Committee, said runners from Rainforest Action Network were setting up a booth with “very anti-Chevron placards and pamphlets that absolutely painted Chevron in a negative light,” so he had them booted from the expo.
Brianna Cayo Cotter, one of the runners with Rainforest Action Network, said the group had no plans to disrupt event. They had pamphlets on contamination they allege Chevron caused in Ecuador and stickers that read, “I’m running for human rights. Ask Chevron why.”
