There's still time to stop the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline.
Total Energy's East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) would cause
devastating damage to the communities in Uganda and Tanzania where the
project is slated.
Here's the good news: You need more than oil and construction materials to
build a pipeline. You also need financing from banks and insurance to
operate it.
And we're on the verge of getting the final banks and insurers OUT of the
pipeline, so it can be canceled for good! But we need a little more help
to get these campaigns over the line.

Campaigners around the globe are organizing right now to pull out the
financial and insurance backing for this pipeline that would cut through
East Africa.
We've already helped convince big banks like JPMorgan, CitiGroup, Wells
Fargo, and Deutsche Bank to stay away from the pipeline. There are only
TWO more banks willing to finance the dirty project: Japan's SMBC, and
Africa's Standard Bank.
350 Japan has been organizing a petition campaign with thousands of
signers to get SMBC to pull out, and in just a few weeks, they'll be
staging an event to deliver the petition to the bank itself. The bigger we
can make this event, the bigger the message we'll send together about why
this pipeline needs to be canceled.
And climate-wrecking pipelines can't operate without insurance. Eighteen
insurers have already said no to the pipeline, but there are still a few
holdouts. That's why we have digital campaigners poised to act during the
insurance industry's huge conference happening in Germany this month, so
that insurance professionals around the world know they shouldn't back
this pipeline.
It's not easy to stop a crude oil pipeline — but we know exactly how to do
it. That's why 350 campaigners across the globe are focused on pulling out
the financial support from EACOP, and why your contribution today will
make a huge difference in our work.

willing to support EACOP so we can stop this pipeline once and for all.
Thanks for all you do.
