BREAKING: Neue Analyse von @howarth_cornell verdeutlicht erneut, dass #LNG klimaschädlicher als Kohle ist! @billmckibben's großartiger Kommentar dazu ist im @NewYorker https://t.co/6cGyXqoyjJ erschienen! Wann reagieren @BMUV @BMWK @Bundeskanzler & stoppen DE-#LNG-Ausbau? 1/2
We send our solidarity with our comrade Aubrey Baxter, independent photojournalist and activist with YA ES YA in Panama, who has lost an eye after the brutal repression of the police forces during a demonstration against mega-mining.
All our support to him and to the Panamanian people who fight with dignity against the imposition of death and the sale of their territories to transnational capital to continue the plundering of our countries of the Global South!
The only struggle that is lost is the one that is abandoned, and throughout the planet popular mobilization has managed to stop similar advances with people power. Please support them from all over the world by amplifying their struggle through all possible channels!
World Bank representative roasted by Debt for Climate during greenwashing event!
As the IMF & World Bank begin their annual meeting in Morocco to further their agenda of financial colonialism and climate destruction, #DebtforClimate kicked off our week of global mobilizations by disrupting a high-level greenwashing panel at Europe´s largest Youth Climate Conference, @lcoygermany.
While a team of D4C activists distributed scientific studies amongst the audience debunking the lies and displayed a banner for #DebtCancellation, co-founder @EstebanServat used his place on the panel to denounce the crimes committed by the financial institutions represented there, and gifted a toy green washing machine to the World Bank speaker.
The group then called for a walk-out, leading to the room quickly emptying and everyone spontaneously assembling outside to discuss real solutions and how we can come together for international #ClimateJustice!
Besides the World Bank, major German financial institutions such as the Bundesbank (whose President is Germany´s representative at the IMF), and BMZ (whose Minister is Germany´s representative at the World Bank) were also part of the panel.
The intervention also exposed how the LCOY conference series (which is financed with € 800,000 by the German government and presents itself as an open space for dialogue) is actually instrumentalized by the institutions that caused the climate crisis to pitch themselves as part of the solution, in an attempt to brainwash and influence young climate activists.
Join us around the world this week as we continue to confront financial colonialism head-on to turn debt into climate action!

We just roasted a World Bank representative at a greenwashing panel for financial & climate criminals!
We kick off a week of global actions as the IMF & World Bank begin their annual summit in Morocco.
Join us all over the world to turn debt into climate action!
Today, 49 organizations sent a letter to @FERC opposing the Rio Bravo Pipeline, Rio Grande LNG, & Texas LNG projects that would destroy sacred lands & pollute low-income communities of the RGV.
*The FERC commission might vote on a decision for the LNG projects tomorrow.

US Congresswoman @AOC exposes the corruption that led to the US Supreme Court ruling in favor of a vulture fund over Argentina´s debt!
Vulture funds profit from struggling economies by buying their debt for pennies on the dollar, and then use various methods, including lawsuits, to force these nations to pay back the original amount + interests.
In this case, co-opted Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito helped Singer´s vulture fund get U$D 2.4 Billion from Argentina. This gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of the global financial system, which is designed to perpetrate colonial relations of exploitation and plundering of resources from Global South countries.

El rechazo de la minería por el pueblo panameño está bien fundamentado.
NO A LA MINA - SI A LA VIDA

Vengo de enfrentarme con la petrolera Total en un Juzgado de Dinamarca.
Criminalizándome en solitario intentaron dividirnos, ¡pero respondimos uniéndonos y denunciando sus crímenes!
¡Sigamos uniéndonos contra el poder corporativo y financiero que nos está destruyendo!
Hilo👇
Total just tried to divide us by singling me out for criminal prosecution.
We responded by coming together, turning the tables on them and continue denouncing their crimes!
Let´s continue building pressure on the fossil & economic powers that are leading us to destruction!
