[ [link removed] ]Deforested and cleared land in the Amazon rainforest

John,

A single American family holds the fate of the world’s forests in their
hands.

With more billionaires than any other family, the Cargill-MacMillans own
Cargill Inc., one of the world's largest food suppliers – sometimes called
‘the worst company in the world’.

Cargill is responsible for vast amounts of deforestation and horrific
human rights abuses like child slave labour…but flies under the radar
because most consumers have never heard of it.

The family is known to cherish their anonymity. We’re going to change
that.

If 5000 people chip in the cost of a coffee, Ekō can build a crack team to
expose the Cargill family’s role in destroying the Amazon, doubling down
on our campaigns in the media and with local partners. We could target key
lawmakers, family shareholders, their AGM – and shine a spotlight on them
until we win. But we urgently need to raise the funds to pull it off.

Every second we wait means more destruction in the name of Cargill’s
profits. Can you chip in to stop the world’s worst company from destroying
the Amazon?

Over and over again, investigations have revealed Cargill is buying soya,
cocoa, corn and more from farms linked to the destruction of the Amazon
rainforest, slave labour, and stolen Indigenous land.

In 2020, Cargill was exposed for buying soya from a supplier that set
12,000 (!!) fires to a protected biome in Brazil to clear the land. Then
in 2022, it happened again – this time at a different farm in a different
area of Brazil. And weeks ago, Cargill's lobbying in Brazil paid off when
new bills passed to dismantle environmental and Indigenous land rights in
the Amazon.

Like clockwork, the company responds by highlighting its commitment to
stopping deforestation and pledging to clean up its act. Spoiler alert:
nothing happens.

We know how to make Cargill feel enough heat to act. From bringing
Indigenous activists to meet with decision-makers and the media to
overwhelming companies' AGMs with attention-grabbing stunts to getting
behind closed doors to counteract their lobbying, our campaigns work when
we have enough money to see them through to the end.

Because Cargill is family-owned, this is our best chance to show them that
consumers won’t just stand by while they push the Amazon rainforest to its
death – can you chip in now to help?
