Big news, John.

We’re launching an exciting new campaign in the U.S. to help stop the East
African Crude Oil Pipeline (or EACOP).



To help kick off this campaign, we want to invite you to join our next
webinar with 350 Africa campaigners and partners to get up to speed on our
plans.

at 10:00 am ET/7:00 am PT?

Total Energies has been trying to secure funding for the East African
Crude Oil Pipeline for years.

The good news is that many banks and insurers in the U.S. and Europe have
now ruled out financing EACOP directly due to pressure from our movement.

But the bad news is that one of the most powerful brokerages in the United
States – Marsh McLennan – is trying to help Total get the project over the
finish line.

That’s why we’re leveraging our climate movement in the U.S. to up the
pressure and stand alongside our partners and allies in Africa and Europe.

[ [link removed] ]We need as many people as possible to be involved in this campaign from
day one. Will you sign up to join the webinar next week to learn more and
hear directly from those on the ground?

This proposed crude oil pipeline would run from Kabaale, Uganda to the
northeastern coast of Tanzania – displacing about 118,000 people,
endangering the region’s unique ecosystems, and threatening wetlands,
wildlife, and fresh water sources that support millions of people.

Meanwhile, the latest UN climate report is clear that we cannot build any
new oil and gas projects if we hope to keep global heating to 1.5 degrees.

During the webinar, you’ll hear from speakers from around the globe about
how you can take action to stop the financing behind EACOP and learn more
about how the project would impact local communities and the climate.

Speakers include:

* Amy Gray - Stand.earth
* Omar Elmawi - Stop EACOP/350.org Africa
* Ryan Brightwell - BankTrack
* Guillaume Portier - Reclaim Finance
* Henri Her - Reclaim Finance
* Baraka Lenga - GreenFaith International & FFF Tanzania
* Kayinga Muddu Yisito - COTOFONE

If we can get Marsh McLennan to drop EACOP, we will hamper Total’s efforts
to get this vital element of the project sorted.

We will also send a clear signal to other insurers, banks, brokers, and
any other corporation that this project is too toxic to touch and any
involvement will be met with resistance from across the globe.

Please sign up now to join us on Wednesday, June 1 to be at the ground
level of this campaign to #StopEACOP and build a better, fossil free
future for all.

Hope to see you there,

Ellie May

P.S. Can you let Marsh
McLennan know any support of this deadly pipeline is as toxic to their
business as it is to our planet? [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition here.
