John, since I
joined this fight, I’ve not seen a moment like this.

People all over the world are uniting to stop the East African Crude Oil
Pipeline (EACOP).

Communities in East Africa are taking to the streets in protest.^1
Activists around the world are pushing banks and insurance firms to drop
EACOP.^2 The EU Parliament just called the project a violation of human
rights.^3 Momentum is building.



But, the company behind the project – Total Energies – is getting
desperate and new backers are trying to step in to resurrect the project.

In order to show the global resistance to this project and put pressure on
more banks and insurance companies like Marsh to drop out, we’re hosting a
Global Week of Action to #StopEACOP from October 24 - 30.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join thousands of others around the world and sign up to take
a virtual action to #StopEACOP each day next week?

After you sign up, I’ll send you a new action to take each day starting
Monday, October 24. You’ll hear about and have the chance to join
campaigns in Africa, the United States, Europe, and Asia, all working in
solidarity with communities in Uganda and Tanzania to stop this project
and build a world free from fossil fuels.

And don’t worry – you can take each action at your own time, or choose
which of the seven actions you want to take part in!

We know that this project is both a human rights violation and a carbon
bomb that our climate cannot bear. Just one leak could poison the water
that 40 million people depend on for food, farming, and their
livelihoods.^4

With COP27 coming up next month in Egypt, now is the perfect time to show
world leaders that communities in Africa and around the globe want a
fossil free future now.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign up here to join the week of action and stay tuned for lots
more to come.

I hope I can count on you,
John.

In solidarity,

Omar Elmawi
StopEACOP Campaign Coordinator at 350 Africa
