# Tweet Africa’s Biggest Bank: Drop EACOP!

If built, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) will have disastrous consequences for local communities and wildlife in Uganda and Tanzania – and for the entire planet. **But Africa’s biggest bank – Standard Bank – is still backing it.** Their support is now critical in getting this pipeline up and running.

**Our movement is taking to Standard Bank’s major shareholder meeting in Johannesburg to put pressure on the bank to drop EACOP.**
