John -
Across the U.S., we’ve seen a sharp increase in cases of extreme heat,
flooding, tornadoes, and wildfires. These kinds of climate disasters are
all too familiar for our neighbors in the Global South, who have been
bearing the brunt of the climate crisis for far too long.
These disasters are a stark reminder that the climate crisis is a global
issue — and that the real culprits are international oil giants like
TotalEnergies.
Last week, 350.org supporters joined activists for a protest at
TotalEnergies’ New Jersey office where we called on them to drop their
support for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

Their response? To cover up all of their identifying signage and shut down
their office for the day.
[ [link removed] ]It’s clear our movement is getting under their skin,
John. Together, we’ve already
convinced dozens of stakeholders to drop their support for this disastrous
project — but we have to keep our momentum going to finally #StopEACOP.
Will you call TotalEnergies now and urge them to drop EACOP?

TotalEnergies owns over 62% of EACOP —
making them one of the major stakeholders for this project. In addition to
causing the extreme heat and other climate impacts we are facing across
the globe, they are also actively displacing and disrupting the
livelihoods of people in Tanzania and Uganda through EACOP. Here’s how:
For starters, the pipeline would run through the basin of Lake Victoria —
which over 40 million people depend on for food and their livelihoods. On
top of that, thousands of Tanzanian farmers face eviction for construction
of the pipeline.

John, EACOP is
a reminder that as our planet burns, powerful transnational elites
continue to profit off the backs of the world’s poor, and keep us further
from a sustainable and just transition off of fossil fuels.
[ [link removed] ]But when thousands of us join together to turn up the pressure, it is
possible to drive oil giants like TotalEnergies to drop their support for
the project — and put a stop to it, for once and for all. Will you help us
achieve that by making a call now?
