    ACT LOCAL

    Support communities on the frontline

    For local communities and activists in Uganda, Tanzania and the Great Lakes region, speaking out against a big corporate project like EACOP comes with serious risks.

    Organizations, environmental activists, human rights defenders and journalists who have criticized the project or government policies have faced various threats and some have even been arrested on dubious charges.

    So local groups have assembled a coalition of African and international organizations to help amplify their message and bring new allies to the campaign to stop EACOP.

    And it’s working! Over one million people from all around the world have supported advocacy actions like the ones featured on this website.

    But we need to do all we can to support their work, keep them safe and push back on the concerted attempts to silence them.

    That’s why the #StopEACOP coalition has established a dedicated fund to support our grassroots partners. All contributions to this fund will go to local members of the coalition to support their grassroots organizing and to cover the costs of legal defense if necessary.

    # FOR CLIMATE

    The future of East Africa relies on building sustainable, diversified and inclusive economies – not by letting huge multinational corporations extract resources and keep the profit.
