Ray Daggers has embarked on another march
Dear Editor,
In a remarkable display of determination and grassroots activism, Ray Daggers, a passionate environmental advocate, has undertaken a bold campaign aimed at drawing attention to the pressing need for environmental policy reform in Guyana. With unwavering commitment and resolute spirit, Daggers has initiated a march with the ambitious goal of gathering an impressive 300,000 signatures from concerned citizens across the nation. This extraordinary endeavour serves as a crucial step towards holding both the PPP/C government and ExxonMobil accountable for what many perceive as an imbalanced contract that poses significant risks to Guyana’s environmental future.
Daggers has long been recognized as a prominent advocate for environmental justice in Guyana, and his dedication to the cause remains steadfast. Having completed an arduous 12-day walk from Moleson Creek in East Corentyne, Berbice (Region Six) to Charity on the Essequibo Coast (Region Two), Daggers has showcased his unwavering determination to drive change despite the challenges faced.
Through this latest march, Daggers aims to mobilize citizens from all walks of life to join forces in the pursuit of a fairer agreement with ExxonMobil, one that prioritizes the long-term preservation of Guyana’s abundant biodiversity and natural resources. By amassing 300,000 signatures, Daggers seeks to deliver a powerful message to the government and ExxonMobil, compelling them to address the inequities within the existing contract.
The lopsided nature of the ExxonMobil contract has been a persistent concern among environmentalists, who fear the exploitation of Guyana’s valuable resources without adequate safeguards. Daggers’ tireless efforts to shed light on these issues have garnered widespread support and admiration from fellow activists, concerned citizens, and environmental organizations alike.
By embarking on this challenging journey and uniting the voices of Guyana’s citizens, Daggers aims to push for a renegotiation of the contract, ultimately striving to secure a fairer deal that prioritizes environmental sustainability, safeguards local communities, and ensures a more equitable distribution of benefits for all Guyanese.
Ray Daggers’ march not only symbolizes the unwavering determination of an individual but also underscores the collective strength of the people in shaping the future of their nation. As Daggers galvanizes the nation, fueling a spirit of activism and empowerment, he envisions a transformed Guyana where environmental protection, thriving communities, and the welfare of its citizens take precedence over corporate interests.
As the march gains momentum and the united voices of citizens grow louder, the PPP/C government and ExxonMobil will be compelled to listen, recognizing the resounding call for change that can no longer be ignored. Driven by his unyielding passion for the environment, Ray Daggers is poised to leave an indelible mark on Guyana’s history, reminding us all that collective action and unwavering determination can bring about the much-needed change.
