All but one western energy giant has announced plans to quit Russia over
the invasion of Ukraine: TotalEnergies.

Tell Total (TotalEnergies) to stop enabling Putin’s war, and tell European
governments to get off fossil fuels.

John,

Total is the only western energy giant that hasn’t announced plans to quit
Russia. Shell is shedding its ties, BP is going beyond Putin, and Exxon
announced it's exiting too.

Simply put, Total’s greed is enabling Putin’s war.

But if enough of us raise our voices we can make Total divest from Russia,
and get Europe to speed up going fossil-free – cutting off the stream of
cash from gas projects and pipelines in the Russian Arctic that feed right
into Putin’s war machine.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Total to divest from Russia’s oil and gas sector, and Europe to go
fossil-free.

Total (now TotalEnergies) has invested billions into climate-wrecking
fossil fuel projects in Russia – and didn’t stop even when Putin annexed
Crimea in 2014.

France’s Finance Minister told journalists he’s talking it over with
Total’s CEO this week. But so far, that’s only led to Total saying it’s
not going to invest more in Russia. Not good enough.

Now that Total’s peers have announced plans to quit Russia, the financial
press and governments are watching what Total will do. But their focus
will shift again, and we don’t have much time to act.

quit fossil fuels.

The European Parliament this week condemned Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,
but instead of resolving to get the EU off fossil fuels as fast as
possible, most MEPs voted for building more liquefied natural gas
infrastructure in Europe.

The situation looks desperate, but public pressure can work -- and
especially if the timing is right. SumOfUs members like you helped make
Total and Chevron quit Myanmar over human rights abuses there. And our
governments can be moved too, when we fight together: Just last year
SumOfUs members, together with activists from 350, and Friends of the
Earth France made Macron abandon his plans to finance Total’s new gas
megaproject on Russia’s pristine Arctic coast.
