THE BAKU-CEYHAN PIPELINE CAMPAIGN - WHAT YOU CAN DO

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/09/2004 - 10:07

Without public finance this project cannot go ahead. It is vital to put pressure on key decision makers for financing the BCP, and companies who are involved in the project. Here are some ideas for getting involved:

Outreach and publicity
Organise a speaker meeting- come to speaker training or contact us for support in organizing a meeting about the pipeline. We have information, materials and a range of speakers about different aspects of the pipeline project. If you'd like to be a key motivator in your area, then come along to the speaker training in January

Students - Organize speaker meetings, write letters, ask questions.. and more.. at BP recruitment events, and oppose BP sponsorship in your universities.

Unions - pass a resolution in your Union opposing public finance for the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline
