Stanbic’s decision to finance EACOP aligns it with repression. Activists and community leaders who are against EACOP have faced arrests, threats and acts of violence. How can Stanbic Uganda back a project that violates civic space and basic rights? #StopEACOP #StanbicDivest

The EACOP has already displaced tens of thousands of people, leaving them reeling from the devastating socio-economic impacts of land loss and dispossession. Many have been forced into poverty while awaiting inadequate compensation. #StopEACOP #StanbicDivest

EACOP will not bring the promised prosperity It will fuel corruption, threaten existing industries and the prospects of sustainable economic growth, creating very few long-term jobs while TotalEnergies and its investors walk away with the immense profits.#StopEACOP #StanbicDivest

This World Health Day, it’s vital to acknowledge our right to health as a fundamental human right. Rejecting funding for initiatives like EACOP is not an offense but rather a means to safeguard our health due to the impacts associated with such projects.#StopEACOP #StanbicDivest

As we celebrate, we need to remember that despite our numerous progressions, our environment continues to face several issues, like global climate change and reliance on fossil fuels, which are exacerbated by poor choices made by nations that invest in fossils.

On Labor Day, we express our gratitude to all the workers who make our world a better place. Let's also raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection. By reducing our carbon footprint and conserving natural resources, we can ensure a sustainable future.

Today, we recognize the urgent need to protect and preserve our environment. As the loss of biodiversity accelerates at an alarming rate, the demand for action is increasingly imperative. We must shield the diverse species and ecosystems that enhance the uniqueness of our planet.

KCB Bank finances EACOP pipeline = 100,000+ people displaced, vital ecosystems destroyed. When activists brought a letter voicing concerns, KCB's response? Deception and arrest. RT to demand #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

KCB Bank Uganda lured 11 peaceful #StopEACOP activists into their basement where they were ambushed and arrested on false charges. Their crime? Attempting to deliver a letter about the bank's involvement in the destructive #EACOP pipeline. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

KCB claims to be environmentally responsible while financing a pipeline that will emit 379 million tones CO2e (MtCO2e) for the full value chain of emissions & when activists asked them to reconsider, they had them arrested. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

Banking with KCB? Your money is financing environmental destruction AND the silencing of peaceful activists. 11 defenders were invited in, then arrested for "trespassing." Time to #SwitchYourBank and demand #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

URGENT: 11 climate activists face criminal charges after KCB Bank deceptively led them into the basement, where police waited. They were peacefully delivering concerns about #EACOP, which threatens the Ramsar sites. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

The hypocrisy is staggering: KCB portrays itself as sustainable while funding a pipeline violating the Paris Agreement AND arresting those who question this contradiction. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP #ClimateCrimesNotClimateActivism

FACT: Over 40 major banks have refused to finance #EACOP due to environmental and human rights concerns. Yet KCB is all in—and aiding in ARRESTING those who speak up. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP
