Tl;dr: A Canadian company is planning on a project in Africa that will take up 1/6 of the world's remaining carbon budget. This is an issue of neocolonialism and environmental racism.

[Image description: Infographic slideshow from Fridays For Future.

1: Recon Africa: Stop drilling in the Kavango Basin, a project that will take up one sixth of the world’s remaining carbon budget.

Global Day of Action: June 4th

#SaveOkavangoDelta #KavangoAlive

2: Reconnaissance Africa (ReconAfrica) is a Canadian-registered oil and gas company which has begun drilling for oil in the Kavango Basin, located and Northeast Namibia and Northwest Botswana.

Their license areas cover a total of 34,325 square kilometers (8.5 million acres).

Including parts of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin (traverses through Angola, Botswana, and Namibia) and along the Okavango River, which feeds into the Okavango Delta.

3: The Okavango Delta is a large inland delta located in Botswana and is a world-renowned hotspot of biodiversity.

It is designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a Wetland of International Importance by the The Ramsar Convention.

It is home to many endangered species, including the African wild dog and the last remaining population of African savanna elephants.

4: ReconAfrica's license areas are home to around 200,000 people.

The company has failed to properly inform and consult with the local people and receive the free, prior and informed consent of the Indigneous San communities.

Several local inhabitants have stated that they were not consulted or even informed that drilling would be taking place.

The few consultations that have occurred happened too late in the process, and were inaccessible to many members of the community.

5: Based on ReconAfrica’s own projections of 120 billion barrels of oil equivalent, a carbon gigabomb of up to 51.6 Gigatonnes of CO2 will be emitted.

The equivalent of one sixth of the world's remaining carbon budget.

6: Activists across the world are calling out and pressurizing Recon Africa along with the Canadian government to stop this catastrophic project.

This is a classic example of neocolonialism, corporate ecocide, environmental racism, and the abuse of power for profit yet again from countries in the Global North. This must be stopped!

Stand in solidarity with frontline activists and take action!

I got kicked out for being trans, help please!

I’m not the one to ask others for help, but my situation has gotten really bad and I don’t know where else to turn to.

My parents found out I’m trans yesterday and I got kicked out. I was told to pack up and leave. I’m from Eastern Europe and a university student. They were paying everything for me, from school to depression meds to food. I’m at my friend’s place now but I can’t stay here forever and I need money for the next school year which starts next month, meds, food, utilities… until I can figure out a job. I honestly feel really desperate and miserable right now, I’m freaking out so bad :( I feel confused, betrayed, my head and chest are throbbing from crying and overthinking… I feel like I’m suddenly at rock bottom and things were already bad for me with depression and dysphoria. Things are so overwhelming. I don’t even know if what I’m writing makes sense. I just need help to stay on my feet right now, I can’t afford to stop attending university amongst everything else too as you really need a degree here not to live in absolute poverty until the rest of your life. One year is about 1143 american dollars or 970 euros, which is the least I’d need for now.

I know this is a lot to ask for but please, if you can spare even a dollar/euro/one unit of whatever currency, please help me out! And if you can’t, please please reblog. And thank you unbelievably much

my brother’s parents were seriously injured when they were hit, on their motorcycle, by a 20-year-old woman who ran a stop light while on her phone. they are both going to be in the hospital, and then rehab, for a long, long time. they are self-employed and since his dad won’t be able to walk for at least 6 months, they are scared they will lose their business & home.

please consider donating to this gofundme created by one of my brother’s aunts. the money will support the medical & living expenses while his parents heal.

Sponsor/donate to a blue-collar trans woman?

I'm a pre-apprentice electrician doing work at a hospital currently. I'm with the IBEW union, so I'll have opportunities for financial stability the more years I work, but I'm currently making $11 an hour while I'm being trained and I help take care of my disabled roommates and cats. If I didn't have to stay on top of electric school homework, I'd look into an evening or weekend job. But money is kinda tight for the time being..

If it makes any difference, my birthday is September 17th, and if anybody wants to buy nudes or anything, don't be shy to DM me for my snapchat or something 💖💖💖
