Resisting Corporate Colonialism, Why We Must #StopEACOP Now

Join us on June 1st for Resisting Corporate Colonialism, Why We Must #StopEACOP Now online rally and panel event. Hear from speakers from around the globe about how you can take action on the dirty financing behind the East African Crude Oil Pipeline.

The East African crude Oil Pipeline is a proposed crude oil pipeline that would run from Kabaale, Uganda to the northeastern coast of Tanzania. 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.

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. 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.

Ryan Brightwell - BankTrack
Guillaume Portier - Reclaim Finance
