<P>Last month, <STRONG>things got icy at the Ministry of Economy in
Paris. We delivered more than 200,000 SumOfUs members’
signatures</STRONG> demanding that the French government drops its
financial support to Total's devastating new gas megaproject in the
Arctic.</P>

<P>TV and radio crews followed us and our partners from Les Amis de
la Terre and 350. <STRONG>We installed a massive ice sculpture in
front of the Ministry. It spelled €700,000,000 to represent the
guarantee</STRONG> that the French State could grant Total for its
destructive project.</P>

<P>For hours, the ice blocks melted, just like the Arctic ice pack.
After a while, they disappeared completely, like public money might
vanish in Total's deep pockets.</P>
<P><STRONG>Your mobilization shed light on this secretive project.
You put pressure on the French government</STRONG> which now faces
harsh criticism.</P>

<P>Your message is clear as ice: public money must no longer be used
to fund projects that destroy our future, pushing us even further
into the abyss of the climate crisis! <STRONG>Now, let’s ensure that
the French government walks the talk</STRONG>.</P>
<P>You can do these two things to strengthen the mobilization
against Total’s gas megaproject:</P>
