*[Enwl-eng] Urgent - Join the Tweet storm #TotalDisaster

[ENWLine]

 

Dear friends, This is unbelievable. The CEO of Total just signed an agreement with the government of Uganda to proceed with a massive pipeline, displacing 12,000 families and ripping through critical wildlife reserves. Now Ugandan police are arresting citizens and journalists for exposing this dreadful pipeline. But they can't silence us! Right now Total's CEO is defending the corporation's reputation at a major meeting with investors -- it's the perfect moment for us to expose their hypocrisy and push Total to cancel this deadly pipeline. If we all send one quick tweet now, our message will be impossible to ignore! The meeting is about to start -- send an urgent tweet now: STEP 1: Retweet Avaaz's post STEP 2: Tweet to the CEO Tips for your own Tweet: Highlight the hypocrisy: Total says it wants to be a 'responsible energy major’ -- but they are planning an oil pipeline through Uganda’s biggest national park. Point out human rights risks: Total say they respect human rights -- but the East African pipeline will destroy thousands of homes. Call for climate ambition: Total says it will become climate neutral by 2050 -- but building new pipelines will plunge us deeper into climate crisis. Use your own words and don't forget to use his and his company's twitter handles @Total @PPouyanne and to use hashtags #TotalDisaster #OOTT Tweet to the CEO With hope and determination, Martyna, Marie, Pascal, and Bert with the entire Avaaz team More information: Abusive arrests in Uganda: NGOs call for the immediate release of journalists and environmental defenders https://www.amisdelaterre.org/communique-presse/abusive-arrests-in-uganda-ngos-call-for-the-immediate-release-of-journalists-and-environmental-defenders/ “Responsible energy major”? 4 things you need to know about TOTAL’s megaproject in Uganda and Tanzania (Avaaz) https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/total_responsible_en/ Total Ouganda: des rapporteurs spéciaux de l’ONU interpellent la multinationale et les autorités gouvernementales https://www.amisdelaterre.org/communique-presse/total-ouganda-des-rapporteurs-speciaux-de-lonu-interpellent-la-multinationale-et-les-autorites-gouvernementales/
