This week, a delegation of the Indigenous Mapuche people from Argentina, and climate activists from Latin America will confront big corporations at their Annual General Meetings (AGM). r1

Hi Paov,

This week, 350.org is supporting a delegation of the Mapuche people from Argentina who, alongside climate activists from Latin America, are confronting big fossil fuel corporations and banks at their Annual General Meetings (AGMs) across Europe.

This is a big moment for us to take action. AGMs are where big fossil fuel companies, such as Equinor and Total, and banks like Deutsche Bank and BNP meet their investors - and when they come under scrutiny for their actions.

These companies are responsible for the devastating environmental damage caused by fracking in Vaca Muerta, a region of Argentina, on lands where the Mapuche communities live. The delegation has a plan to expose the companies’ abuses and call on them to stop the destruction in front of their shareholders, but they need your help.

Paov, will you stand with the representatives of the Mapuche people today, and sign your name on their petition demanding an end to fracking in Patagonia?

Alberta is on fire

Nearly 30,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, with First Nations communities among the hardest hit. r1

Paov,

The wildfire situation here in Alberta is devastating.

Over 100 fires are burning across the province, many of them out of control. Nearly 30,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, with First Nations communities being among the hardest-hit.1 The fires have already burned through more land than all of last year, around 400,000 hectares so far. It’s only May, and summer is still a month and a half away.

At the same time, dozens of communities in B.C.2 and Quebec3 are reeling from intense spring flooding due to unseasonably warm weather and heavy rainfall.

While people across the country struggle with unprecedented climate disasters, the oil and gas industry that caused this crisis is making record profits.

Paov, it's time to make polluters pay their fair share.

We just launched a new petition demanding that the Trudeau government tax oil and gas companies' excess profits to fund climate disaster response. Can you take a moment to add your name?
