legislation on Indigenous territories, in Brasília.

John,

Brazil’s lawmakers are on the verge of passing another terrifying law that
will rip open the heart of the Amazon for industrialisation.

It needs to pass the Senate first…and we have a plan to stop it for good.

The law is part of what’s known as the “Destruction Package” – a set of
laws that Brazil’s powerful agricultural lobby is sparing no expense to
push through. If passed, it would be a death sentence to the Amazon and
its people. And by keeping their shady lobbying in the shadows,
they’re giving politicians cover to vote for this outrageously destructive
bill.

If we quickly raise the funds, we can double down on an all-out push
to make it too costly for politicians to pass the law. It’s going to take
polling, investigations, legal tactics, media, and ads for this to work
– can you help save the Amazon and its people?

It’s a death sentence for the Amazon and the Indigenous communities that
call it home. The Forest Code is sitting in Brazil’s Senate committee
waiting for a vote. If passed, it would gut hard-won protections for the
Amazon, putting *21 million* acres of rainforest at risk – and push the
Amazon to a catastrophic tipping point.

If the bill passes, Brazilian President Lula could still veto it – but
with enough support from Congress, they could override his veto! 

That’s why it’s so important that we make the bill so toxic that
politicians won’t want to risk supporting it. First, we’ll hire a
researcher to expose the companies behind the bill and trace where the
dirty lobbying money is going. Then, we’ll be launching hard-hitting
campaigns, commissioning polls, and calling out politicians by name all
over the media to expose what’s happening. If we raise enough, we’ll hire
lawyers and push this fight into the international arena.

Can you help make this important work possible by chipping in just the
cost of a cup of coffee to help protect the Amazon and its people?

John, we’ve fought and stopped dangerous bills from becoming
laws before. It won’t be easy, but together, we can stop this bill before
it’s too late – and fight to protect rainforests and the communities that
guard them.



  Thanks for all that you do,
