John, this moment is crucial.

Last week, multiple climate justice activists were arrested while
protesting against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) in New York
City. [ [link removed] ]John, will you sign a pledge to stand in solidarity
with them?

In the blazing July heat, activists from the Ugandan diaspora and from
350, Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM), the Black Hive, and more turned out
in NYC to target Wall Street for its role in funding the climate crisis.

Together, we gathered outside the headquarters of insurance giant American
International Group (AIG) in protest to demand the company not insure
EACOP. Thanks to the courage and boldness of our collective action and
civil disobedience, our message could not be ignored.

EACOP has been described by activists as “a carbon bomb for humanity.”^1
And if approved, it would displace Tanzanian and Ugandan communities along
its nearly 900 planned miles of pipeline, while having long-lasting and
devastating impacts on our global climate.

EACOP activists in the U.S. and in Uganda and Tanzania have been sounding
the alarm — but have been met with harassment, arrests, and even
kidnapping.^2 In the face of unfathomable evil, these courageous activists
are continuing the fight to stop the corporate greed of fossil fuel
finance.

The fight for a fossil-free future will take all of us. The climate crisis
we’re facing knows no borders — so we must stand united in support of
those on the frontlines in the fight for our future. [ [link removed] ]Can we count on
you to sign your name and pledge to stand in solidarity with the EACOP
activists and amplify our collective fight to end fossil fuel expansion?

Activists around the world have pressured banks to drop EACOP. While 29
insurance companies have already vowed not to insure EACOP, AIG has
stubbornly refused to rule it out.

While diaspora activists are rising up in the U.S. to stop EACOP,
activists in Uganda and Tanzania are also fighting for clean energy
alternatives to EACOP with the REPower Afrika campaign. And together, we
can continue amplifying the efforts of the many communities fighting
fossil fuel expansion!

We must support EACOP activists as they face growing pressure from law
enforcement and violent backlash from fossil fuel agitators. [ [link removed] ]Will you
pledge to stand in solidarity with the EACOP activists?
