Stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline

Stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline
We have one final chance to stop one of the worst oil pipelines on Earth.

It is truly monstrous.

It would be the longest heated pipeline on the planet, pumping up to a quarter million barrels of oil every single day. Snaking through Uganda and Tanzania, it'll tear through elephant sanctuaries, twelve protected forests, and more than 200 rivers.

Thousands of families are being evicted to clear the way -- and people are getting beaten and arrested for speaking out.

Our movement has been fighting this pipeline for years. But despite some important breakthroughs, construction is charging ahead.

This could be our last chance to stop it.

Right now, one of the UK's top law firms is preparing to take the owners of the pipeline to court. Legal experts believe the case has a real chance of stopping the pipeline outright -- but we have to launch it now, before construction is completed.

That's why I'm writing to you today.

This is an urgent call to everyone who cares about the climate crisis and human rights. If enough of us chip in, we can provide the seed funding to launch this court case immediately, support families who are facing eviction, and power Avaaz's work to protect life on Earth.

This is our last chance. We may not get another one like it. Please donate what you can today.
