SUMMARY:Resisting Corporate Colonialism – Why We Must Stop EACOP Now
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 1st 2022 at 5pm EAT/7am PST/8am MST/10am EST for the Resisting Corporate Colonialism, Why we must stop EACOP Now online rally and panel event.\nHear from speakers from around the globe about how you can take action on the financing behind the East African crude Oil Pipeline and how it affects local communities and will have devastating climate impacts. As Eastern Africa faces environmental degradation, widespread community displacement, and climate injustice, North American investors watch their holdings rise. This is corporate colonialism in action. To put it in context, from 2016-2019, the world’s G20 countries provided $47 billion in public financing for fossil fuels in Africa. That’s 3.7 times the amount invested in renewable energy sources.\nSpeakers include:\nAmy Gray – Stand.earth\nOmar Elmawi – Stop EACOP/350.org\nRyan Brightwell – BankTrack\nGuillaume Portier – Reclaim Finance\nHenri Her – Reclaim Finance\nBaraka Lenga – GreenFaith International & FFF Tanzania\nKayinga Muddu Yisito – COTFONE\nMore speakers to be announced!\nThe East African crude Oil Pipeline is a proposed crude oil pipeline that would run from Kabaale, Uganda to the northeastern coast of Tanzania. The project includes plans to drill 130 oil wells in Murchison Falls National Park and to develop oil fields on the shores of Lake Albert. It would also displace about 118,000 people across Uganda and Tanzania, endanger the region’s unique ecosystems, and threaten wetlands, wildlife, and fresh water sources that support millions of Africans. If we hope to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, we can’t develop any new oil and gas fields — in Africa, or anywhere.\nIn order to stop the climate crisis, we need to stop the financing of fossil fuels.
