John, we have an important update for you on Vaca Muerta.
This week a delegation of the indigenous Mapuche people from Argentina, and climate activists from Latin America, are confronting big corporations at their Annual General Meetings (AGMs) over the devastating environmental damage caused by their fracking in Vaca Muerta – a region located in Northern Patagonia.
This is a big moment for us to take action. AGMs are where big fossil fuel companies, such as Equinor and Total, and major banks like Deutsche Bank and BNP meet with their investors. It’s an important moment for these corporations – and the perfect time for us to expose their abuses and destruction.
For years, Equinor and Total have been fracking for shale oil and gas in Vaca Muerta, home of the indigenous Mapuche people. Deutsche Bank and BNP have also been among the major banks funding these destructive projects.
Now, supported by climate activists from across Latin America, a delegation of the Mapuche people of Vaca Muerta are about to turn the tables and show up on the doorstep of the corporations responsible for the damage suffered by their vulnerable communities.
John, this is where you can help The power of the climate movement comes from all of us acting together as one and showing up for each other. These Argentine activists will be delivering this petition directly to these corporations starting this week.
Thank you for taking action,
Team 350
