Deep in our hearts, we do believe we shall overcome some day

Peaceful protest is not a crime.
Yet activists in Uganda face police brutality for standing for what’s right and what they believe in

A friend was violently arrested. No explanation. Rough handling. Public humiliation.

This is how dissent is treated.

“We shall never surrender.”

Our comrades chanted this as court sent them back to Luzira Maximum Prison.
208 days in prison for protesting EACOP.

Climate defense in Uganda carries jail time.
We call for freedom of climate defenders. #StopEACOP #ClimateActionNow

The bad news is that everything is broken, but the good news is that we can still mend it. Let’s unite against corporate greed and turn the impossible into reality. #ClimateActionNow #solidaritywithcongo #solidaritywithsudan #solidaritywithpalestine

Too often, decisions about justice and sustainability happen far from the people most affected.
This boot camp was about changing that by centering frontline youth.
#FrontlineVoices #GlobalSouth #PeoplePower

Many countries. One shared space. The Africa Siblings Boot Camp brought youth leaders from across Africa to Uganda to learn, reflect, and build real connections rooted in lived experience.
This was about frontline voices, honest conversations, and practical skills for change.
#GlobalSouth

From the Netherlands to Uganda.
From strategy rooms to lived realities.
This collaboration showed why Global North and Global South must meet face to face. Not to speak for each other. To listen and act together.
We are redefining history.
#ClimateActionNow

We’re coming for the oil industry. Your greed has destroyed enough, and we won’t stop until it ends. The future is ours to protect. #EndOil #WeRise

I am a ugandan youth, fearless in the fight against the deadly injustices of EACOP. I have opposed it, stood my ground, and fought in every way possible. I will never stop fighting. I have resisted, I still resist, and I will never stop no matter what. #StopEacop

Today is my birthday, but I can’t celebrate knowing so many injustices persist. Friends who stood for what’s right are still waiting for justice now it’s a year, while the system continues to fail the oppressed. This isn’t the world we deserve. #StopEACOP

After a long struggle and nearly a month, our comrades were finally granted bail, Our friends are still brave and still willing to fight for what is right. Our fight against EACOP is universe fight. #StopEACOP

Justice for our friends, today the court didn’t make a decision because the magistrate responsible wasn’t around so an extension to tomorrow, we demand that they receive their freedom tomorrow for the world is watching. #StopEACOP @policeug.bsky.social @kagutamuseveni.bsky.social

Our hearts are heavy as we think of our friends in Luzira Maximum Prison, punished for standing up for our planet. Your sacrifice is not in vain, and we carry your courage with us every day. You are not forgotten. Stay strong we are fighting for you. #FreeClimateDefenders #StopEACOP

Our friends have been remanded until 9th next month, the police didn’t bring some of our comrades two of them on claims that they were very sick so taking back our comrades to Luzira maximum prison. Our hearts are with them and hope they get justice. #StopEACOP

Today more of our colleagues are presented in court due to our action on 11th this month who are coming from Luzira maximum prison , and also the case of the 19 activists of the action we made who had to appear to day in court was adjourned until next year

Today, our brave students return to court, standing firm against a system that has stalled their justice for nearly a year. This is a reminder that oppressive systems fear the power of collective action. We won’t be silenced. #PeopleOverProfit #StopEACOP @xrglobal.bsky.social

Peaceful protests have always been faced by police brutality. We warn the police of Uganda and the Ugandan government that the world is watching. We demand for the global solidarity in this our fight for a sustainable future. #StopEACOP #EndPlastics
