Right now, fires are raging in the Brazilian Amazon – fires apparently set by farmers wanting aiming to aggressively expand massive soy farming and cattle ranching operations.

But what can we do about it? It turns out that several major U.S.-based companies are complicit with his reckless agenda. That includes BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, which has billions of dollars invested in agribusiness companies with major – and growing – footprints in the Amazon.

John: TELL BLACKROCK NOT TO BANKROLL MORE FIRES IN BRAZIL!

BlackRock invests in companies like Bunge, a commodities exporter that buys and trades massive quantities of Brazilian soy. Companies like these threaten the most biodiverse rainforest in the world, violate indigenous peoples' rights, and irrevocably damage their territories.

All the while, BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink says that businesses should have a "social purpose" and think "long term." But we know that actions speak louder than words, and financing industries causing climate chaos is a BIG problem.

Add your voice to the call for BlackRock to stop financing the industries that destroy the climate, human rights and precious ecosystems like the Amazon!
