Leo Atakpu, African Network for Environment and Economic Justice:
Mulitnational Oil Companies continue to expand oil drilling in Nigeria. Their extraction destroys and impacts with decades of consequences for the environment & people on a scale not known anywhere else on earth.

70% of Bahamian jobs are supported by fishing & tourism yet we were being put at risk by a UK registered Oil company. That’s why we formed Our Islands Our Future
We are asking our government to put a permanent ban on oil drilling.
@242Waterkeepers@islands_our Daouda Gueye, Bargny Coast Waterkeeper and member Sauver La Mer et La P��che:
Exploitation of oil and gas constitutes 30% of world production, poses a grave threat to human rights of small scale fishing.
@timkaine thank you for looking out for Virginians like myself & all people & the planet by pushing back on egregious dirty deal provisions that threaten our environmental protections + judicial review. @POTUS@MarkWarner@chuckschumer it's not too late for a #CleanDebtCeiling
