The rains grandparents knew by heart are arriving late now. Communities in the Albertine region have lived close to this land for generations and watching it change in ways that break your heart. A climate crisis polluters have greatly contributed to.

Our Planet Our Climate Our Fight🌍✊
Rising temperatures are contributing to more frequent and intense droughts, floods, heatwaves, and storms, placing increasing pressure on communities, ecosystems, and economies around the world.
Not a politician,not a lawyer but a community defender standing on her own land,holding a truth those in power would rather ignore.This #GlobalWeekOfAction we stand with every defender. Energy justice starts with protecting the people fighting for it.#KickPollutersOut#AfrikaVuka
The #GlobalKickPollutersOut Week of Action is a declaration that working class & frontline communities refuse to keep paying the price for fossil fuel giants' profits.
We're not just confronting Total but a system built on extraction & exploitation.
History will vindicate us.
"I used to own land, now I rent it." Lempacu was displaced from her land, separated from family,with no income. Her orange and jackfruit trees now feed soldiers on what was her land in nyahaira.
Government must plan for resettlement & livelihood restoration after displacement.
A signature might look like a small thing. Just a name written in ink but carries weight. It means someone showed up and chose to be among the changemakers saying this matters enough for me to put my name on it.

Imagine a continent powered by its own sun, wind, and water. Wealth staying home and communities leading the way. This is the transition Africa deserves.
It's time to Repower Africa.
@RepowerAfrika @RePowerUganda @Energy_Justice@G4ClimateAction@350Africa@GayoUganda@AfiegoUg
Today we choose to protect, restore, and fight for the land that sustains us all. Africa's soil, forests, and rivers are life itself and keeping them safe is an act of love.
Happy World Earth Day.
