Reading stories from oil workers published by AFIEGO the conclusion is that Oil companies have made citizens of Uganda working with them slaves. They are not only destroying our environment but also enslaving independent Ugandans. We must condemn this. #Justice4OilWorkers

No worker should be silenced or left behind. Frank's story is one of many—overworked, underpaid, and unfairly dismissed. It's time to demand accountability. We stand for #Justice4OilWorkers in Uganda. Every worker deserves dignity, fair pay, and justice. TotalEnergies

1 million plastic bottles are sold around the world per minute, adding to the plastic pollution that ends up in our landfills and oceans. We can all make a difference if we simply bring our own refillable bottle. #ClimateAction #plastic #ClimateEmergency

Because of extractive projects like #EACOP, elephants are straying into villages and killing people. Families in Buliisa lose loved ones, then are forced to pay police just to seek compensation. This is injustice on every level. #PeopleOverProfits #StopEacop

"There have been several postponements under various pretexts...[t]his is not normal, especially since the bank does not want to file a complaint. In my opinion, these are simply deliberate efforts to dissuade the population from opposing the pipeline," shorturl.at/WSDjh

From more heatwaves, extreme weather events, droughts, and floods, the evidence is clear: the world is feeling the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. #Phaistelle #GoGreenUg
