Stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline

Oil was discovered near this woman’s farm in Uganda — now she’s losing everything.

Soldiers are evicting thousands of people to clear the way for one of the biggest pipelines on the planet. Those who resist are getting beaten and jailed. Women and girls are turning to sex work to survive.

It’s one of the most destructive oil projects on Earth — and we have one final chance to stop it.

Construction is racing to completion this year. It will tear through elephant sanctuaries and burn billions of barrels of oil that will fuel climate disasters across the planet.

Our movement has been fighting this project for years, and dozens of banks and insurers have already walked away. But now oil companies are financing the pipeline themselves, betting that no one can stop them in time.

They’re wrong.

We now have the opportunity to help launch a groundbreaking court case that could freeze construction before a single drop of oil flows. One of the UK’s top law firms is leading the case — but it cannot move forward without urgent seed funding from people like you.

Everyone who donates will have the option to be named in the court documents, going down in history as someone who stood against this deadly pipeline. Together, we can support families fighting eviction and power Avaaz’s campaign to stop this pipeline.

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