Tomorrow is Global Amazon Day and marks the close of the Fires Week of Action, a series of climate-related actions targeting the major corporations and financial institutions profiting from the destruction of rainforests around the world.

The week included direct and online actions, rallies, and teach-in events. Climate activists heard directly from frontline leaders about the deforestation commodities destroying their homelands and strategized new ways to pressure some of the biggest corporations currently profiting from this crisis, including BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager.

The fires occurring in rainforests all over the world are not wildfires. They are set by criminal arsonists seeking to clear land to make way for agribusiness interests. Alarmingly, fires on Indigenous lands have increased by 77 percent compared to the same period from 2019.

As this year's burning season in the Amazon is already off to the worst start in a decade, public outrage at the irresponsibility of BlackRock's investment practices is also growing exponentially.
