*[Enwl-eng] [wildlife-climate] Fwd: Stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline
enwl
Wow, what a week it’s been. I am so happy and humbled by this journey that we’ve taken together.
You are one of over ten thousand people from over a hundred different
countries who took part in our week of action against EACOP.
Now, on
our final day together, we’re going back to Africa and to the people who are
most critical in the fight against this pipeline, and most at risk from its
impacts - the people in Uganda and Tanzania.
Local communities in East Africa are not only bearing the brunt of the climate crisis, but they suffer firsthand from the disastrous consequences of a new breed of colonialism - the corporate one.
It’s the people in Uganda and Tanzania that are being kicked off their land,
whose livelihoods and water supply are being endangered by oil spills. And who
are being attacked, harassed and intimidated when they speak out.

It’s their stories the world needs to hear most.
So please, set aside 40 minutes to watch this short
documentary today. It’s our biggest ask yet, but educating ourselves and
sharing the stories of our friends in Uganda and Tanzania is so important in
the fight against Total and its destructive pipeline.
You’ve already done so much. I hope I can count on you to do this one last thing and watch and share this film with your friends today.
Onwards,
Omar Elmawi
