John,
My name is Livia, and I’m a Digital Campaigner with the 350 team here in
Brazil.
The worst oil spill in my country’s history is happening right now. 2000
kilometers of coastline are currently drenched in oil, creating a dire
situation for countless coastal communities.
While all this is happening, the largest oil companies on earth are
gathering in Brazil. The reason? There’s a massive, multibillion dollar
auction of oil rights happening today. And we need your help to create an
international uproar.
Some of the biggest companies set to appear at oil rights auctions in
Brazil today and tomorrow are based in Europe: Shell, Equinor and
Wintershall DEA. Let them know that participating in this auction is
unacceptable, by joining the twitter storm happening now to shame these
companies.

Brazilian climate justice activists have put up fierce resistance to
fossil fuel expansion for years. We’ve stopped oil auctions like this one
in the past, and also made monumental steps this year by getting Brazil’s
biggest states to ban fracking. Fossil fuel companies are already nervous
about this auction — BP (UK) and Total (France) have pulled out of
participating of their own volition.
By sending a message to Shell, Equinor and Wintershall DEA, you’ll send a
clear signal to these oil giants that their actions overseas will have
consequences at home. Whether they heed your words or not, your tweet is
still meaningful for us over here in Brazil. We’re up against some of the
most dangerous conditions for climate activists anywhere on earth, and it
means a lot to know that we have your support.
Take a moment to stand in solidarity with our struggle in Brazil by
[ [link removed] ]demanding Shell, Equinor and Wintershall DEA quit tomorrow’s oil rights
auction.
In solidarity,
Livia - for the 350.org team
