Dear Jack,
From June 19 to 25, Survival will again be marking Uncontacted Tribes Week, our global week of action for the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. And you can be part of it.
There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes around the world and all face deadly threats, whether from loggers, miners, ranchers or dangerous ‘development’ plans. Survival International is the only organization fighting for the rights of uncontacted peoples globally, and our campaigning strength - as well as our funding - comes from you, our supporters.
Whether you have just 5 minutes to spare, or want to take on something bigger, here’s how you can get involved:
- Sign and share our Uncontacted Tribes Pledge: uncontactedtribes.org/
- Get special access to an award-winning film about uncontacted peoples in Brazil - you can also host your own movie night.
- Take part in email actions targeting those threatening uncontacted peoples.
- Host a special book club event - we can share book ideas.
- Visit our stall at Glastonbury festival in the UK if you’re going.
- Dig deeper into the issues via our special Uncontacted Tribes Week webpage, which will be updated through the week.
- Plan your own activities! Share your photos on social media with #UncontactedTribesWeek, tagging @Survival (Facebook & Twitter) and @survivalinternational (Instagram) - or email them back to us!
We’ll send details closer to the time, including action alerts and event emails. If you’d like more information now on hosting a movie night, organizing a book club event, or other support, please visit our Uncontacted Tribes Week guide.
Survival works alongside Indigenous peoples around the world. By getting involved during Uncontacted Tribes Week, you can join their struggle, and make a real difference in the fight to stop further genocides of the most vulnerable peoples on the planet.
Thank you,
Caroline Pearce
Director
Survival International
P.S Please forward this email on to family and friends. The more people who stand with uncontacted tribes, the better.
