<div><strong> War in Eastern Congo – Help Us Protect Climate Activists</strong>
</div>
<div><em>(Deutsche Übersetzung unter der englischen Beschreibung)</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A violent war is escalating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Many of our courageous partners – climate justice activists from Goma and the surrounding areas – are now in serious danger. These are people who have dedicated themselves to protecting the rainforest, fighting for a just transition, and resisting fossil fuel projects in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.<strong> </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Now, they need protection.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>That’s why we’re launching an emergency fundraising campaign.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, most of our donations will go directly to helping these activists flee the war zone, providing them with transportation, shelter, food, and safety in more secure regions.
</div>
<div><strong>Every euro can make a difference – and potentially save a life.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're using the same GoFundMe link as for our ongoing campaigns. We hope to resume our regular campaign work soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we are: Congo Basin Alliance</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a new international alliance of climate justice activists from the Congo Basin and Europe. We work together to fight for global climate justice. Beside the protection of rainforests, we demand a just transition that will come from the Global South.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>One recent success</strong>: grassroots activists in DRC helped stop a large oil auction involving 27 exploration blocks in rainforest and peatland regions. But the threat isn’t over – the government has already announced plans for new fossil fuel projects. That’s why continued resistance is essential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Right now, humanity and solidarity come first.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These activists risked everything to protect our shared planet. Now we must protect them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Please donate – every contribution helps protect lives.</strong>

<div> <strong>Krieg in Ostkongo – helft uns, Aktivist:innen zu schützen!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liebe Unterstützer:innen,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>in der Ostregion der Demokratischen Republik Kongo herrscht derzeit ein eskalierender Krieg. Viele unserer mutigen Partner:innen – Klimaaktivist:innen aus Goma und Umgebung – befinden sich in akuter Lebensgefahr. Sie setzen sich unermüdlich für Klimagerechtigkeit, den Schutz des Regenwalds und eine lebenswerte Zukunft ein. <strong>Jetzt brauchen sie unsere Hilfe.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Deshalb haben  wir eine Nothilfe-Spendenaktion gestartet.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aktuell setzen wir einen Großteil unserer Spenden dafür ein, bedrohte Aktivist:innen aus der Region ein sicheres Leben zu ermöglichen. Wir helfen ihnen bei Unterkunft, Verpflegung und Schutz in sichereren Gebieten. Jeder Euro zählt und kann Leben retten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Wir nutzen für diese akute Aktion denselben GoFundMe-Link wie für unsere reguläre Kampagne. Wir hoffen, möglichst bald wieder zu unserer regulären Arbeit zurückkehren zu können.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Wer wir sind: Die Congo Basin Alliance</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir sind ein internationales Bündnis aus Klimaaktivist:innen aus dem Kongo-Becken und Europa. Gemeinsam kämpfen wir für globale Klimagerechtigkeit, den Schutz des einzigartigen Regenwalds und eine<strong> sozial-gerechten Wandel, der aus unserer Sicht im Globalen Süden beginnt.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Ein Beispiel:</strong> Unsere Partner:innen in der DR Kongo haben durch unermüdliche Proteste dazu beigetragen, dass ein umstrittenes Ölprojekt mit 27 Förderblöcken gestoppt wurde. Doch die Gefahr ist nicht gebannt – die Regierung plant bereits neue Ausschreibungen. Der Widerstand muss weitergehen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Aktuell zählt Menschlichkeit und Solidarität.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diese Aktivist:innen haben alles riskiert, um unsere gemeinsame Zukunft zu schützen. Jetzt brauchen sie uns.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Hilf mit – jeder Beitrag rettet Leben.</strong>
