John,
The world’s worst destroyer of Amazon rainforest, meat producer JBS, is
about to list on the New York Stock Exchange – giving it access to
potentially billions more dollars in funding. We can help stop it.
The company’s track record is dodgy as hell – even lawmakers are voicing
concerns. If we can run a deep-dive financial investigation that exposes
wrongdoing, we could derail its plan altogether.
We’ve done this kind of thing before – like when we got Quebec's public
pension fund manager to stop investing in JBS after we exposed its role in
destroying the Amazon. But we were only able to do that because we had
access to public data. It's slow, laborious work and there’s not much
time…but imagine what we can do with your help now!
If everyone reading this chips in the cost of a coffee, we can buy
cutting-edge research software to access reams of juicy financial data –
supercharging our investigators’ ability to ferret out incriminating
stories about JBS and shady corporations all over the world. Can you chip
in now to stop Amazon-destroying corporations?

There’s a reason corporations like this bury their rotten practices in
spreadsheets – because when citizens expose them, it brings real world
consequences. Like when AXA dropped its shares in Israeli defense
contractor Elbit after we published a report into their financial
connections.
But so far our small team of financial investigators have been armed only
with calculators and basic research tools. They’re doing amazing things,
but could do so, so much more.
With access to a professional financial database, we could double down on
our Amazon work – using forensic accounting to ferret out incriminating
data on corporations tearing down precious forests. And we could launch
new lines of research too, like investigating the banks funding sales of
guns to American school kids.
These corporations have deep pockets and zero ethics. But the truth is
that when we come together we’re more than a match for them. Can you chip
in to help step up our campaigns to stop shady corporations destroying the
Amazon?
