We still need people of faith who are willing to fast for one day, according to their tradition, on behalf of the Tanzania Ten to meet our goal of 1,443 fasters. This is a meaningful opportunity to take faithful action together in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Tanzania. See the email below, or click the orange button for more details
Can you join?
Together in spirit,
Rose Gwynn, GreenFaith
For six weeks, the Tanzanian government has interrogated, detained, and harassed 10 GreenFaith volunteers for their opposition to the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). In response, people of diverse faiths are planning a global, interfaith solidarity fast to show solidarity and draw attention to this human rights violation.
JOIN THE GLOBAL, INTERFAITH SOLIDARITY FAST
TotalEnergies, the French multinational behind the 1,443 kilometer EACOP project, holds its Annual General Meeting on Friday May 24. We are mobilizing 1,443 people to fast for a day to show solidarity with the Tanzania Ten and to demand an immediate halt to EACOP.
People of faith will be fasting on any day between May 17 and 24, 2024. You can choose an alternative form of fasting, if fasting from food and/or drink is impossible or difficult for you. For example, you can fast from the internet, carbon, etc.
Once you've signed up, we'll invite you to send us a personal testimonial of your commitment as a faster, which we'll use for a powerful digital communication campaign. Details coming soon.
If you have any questions or want to help us organize this campaign, you can contact Rose by sending an email to rose@greenfaith.org!
In solidarity and hope,
The GreenFaith team
