4/ @Chase the US’ #1 fossil bank is bankrolling almost $1 billion in the EACOP pipeline invested in @TotalEnergies, threatening the drinking water of 40 million & worsening the climate emergency.
We don’t have time for fossil fools: Chase must stop investing in climate chaos!
5/ @BankofAmerica isn't taking the climate crisis seriously.
With $1.8B behind @TotalEnergies they are complicit in the corporate colonialism directly funding EACOP.
Enough of the #greenwashing, it’s time to stop funding pipelines that destroy communities.
6/ @WellsFargo has $24 billion invested in @TotalEnergies bankrolling corporate colonialism in Africa.
It's time to put people over profit and #StopEACOP
7/ @Vanguard_Group & @BlackRock are the asset managers bankrolling the destruction of communities in East Africa with $13.6 Billion.
When will they prioritize communities and stop corporate colonialism in its tracks?

.@AmyG_Standearth kicks-off grounding us in how @TotalEnergies' EACOP risks harming the lives & livelihoods of millions.
"This is not just a climate issue. This is a climate justice issue." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
While @TotalEnergies & those attempting to push through EACOP claim it will benefit local communities, a majority of the fossil oil of the world's largest proposed pipeline would be for export.😡
In his ruling, Justice Thompson says “methods of enforcement of the court's order have led to serious and substantial infringement of civil liberties, including impairment of the freedom of the press to a marked degree” #FairyCreek
Of forest defenders, the Justice says: “They are respectful, intelligent, and peaceable by nature. They are good citizens in the important sense that they care intensely about the common good” 👏💯 #FairyCreekbccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/21/…
Ever heard that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a climate-friendly fuel? Well, you’ve been sold a lie. LNG, made up of methane, is one of the fastest growing threats to our climate. RT to expose the truth about #LNG. #bcpoli#cdnpoli
Didn't think we'd need to say this, but the responses we're getting on this tweet really prove our point: the fossil fuel industry has done a great job convincing the public that "natural gas" is good. It's not. Read more here: vox.com/energy-and-env…
In B.C., methane emissions amounted to an estimated 8.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2017, according to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. That’s equal to 1,724,724 vehicles on the road for one year. Read more: thenarwhal.ca/climate-change…
We’re live at #ClimateWeekNYC! Our “Cities Lead: Phasing Out Fossil Fuels” event is happening 2-3:30pm ET today. Follow along here as we hear from local leaders who are using regulatory policies to stop the growth of the fossil fuel industry. #SAFECities
It’s not too late to join our #ClimateWeekNYC event to hear from city and county council members about the growing strategy of using local regulatory policies to phase out fossil fuels and push for a clean energy future. Join us NOW: facebook.com/watch/?v=31369…#SAFECities
Local leaders from U.S. & Canada will speak at #ClimateWeekNYC to share #SAFECities strategies to use regulatory policies to phase out fossil fuels:
Today an explosive new report on old growth recommended immediate logging deferrals for the most at-risk old forests across BC. So far, the BC government’s response has left most of those areas on the chopping block.
BC has yet more evidence for the need to defend old forests, and a clear path for next steps. Today’s announcement from the province shows they have a ways to go before we can be sure they are adhering to those recommendations. We need more deferrals for at-risk old growth, ASAP.
BC announced a large deferral area in Clayoquot Sound, and while a significant portion of this area was already protected, it is an important step forward. The visionary leadership of Indigenous Nations is advancing an inspiring future for their people, land & waters.
