After a press briefing, GreenFaith Tanzania members were I hope you are well. I am writing to update you on the Tanzania Ten, and ask for your help. First, the good news: thanks to your support and great work by our teams in East Africa and France, the Tanzanian government stopped harassing our GreenFaith community members for a few weeks. Last week, the Tanzania team had a press briefing where they shared the stories of people being impacted by the EACOP. Days later, four of them were arrested without charges. They have since been released, and again, are being required to report to the police station. Send a solidarity gift right now to support the team and courageous GreenFaith volunteers. This is a frightening, difficult time for these volunteers and their families. While the struggle is not over, international pressure from supporters like you has made a difference. Thank you! Your support has been crucial during this time. Because of you:
This global solidarity—across faiths and geographies—is what GreenFaith is all about. Thank you for your commitment! And, thank you to the courageous Tanzania Ten, who, despite ongoing and escalating threats, are unwavering in their commitment to climate justice. In faith, |
In this blog, we'll look at how men and women at serving Jesus Christ both at home and abroad. We'll focus on how God is using their work to transform the lives of people all over the world.
