John -
A few days ago, 47 brave climate activists were arrested in Kampala, Uganda.
Their crime? Peacefully protesting the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). But we refuse to let the fossil fuel industry intimidate us.
Climate organizers are going back out in the field to train community members for the next round of protests — and the more we raise today, the more activists we can train to peacefully protest.
As I write this, activists are facing intimidation, harassment, surveillance, arrests, and even abductions.
Which is why we are committed to training as many community members as possible on their rights as they stand up against this pipeline project.
Legal teams and our organizers have been out in the field all month conducting these trainings:
Local lawyers confer with villagers ahead of the planned march to EACOP offices in Hoima
But these types of trainings require resources for organizers to travel, secure meeting spaces, and provide materials for activists to know their rights as they head into peaceful protests. Which is why I am asking:
State violence towards activists is continuing to get worse. So thank you for chipping in today and sending a clear message that we won't let intimidation stifle the voices of those who defend our planet and human rights.
Let’s act now.
In solidarity,
May Boeve
