"Tesco, do you know the impact that your business is causing the Indigenous People and the environment here in Brazil? The Amazon is burning, the environment is at risk. We are living in one of the worst crises of all times. We want to know if you are willing to fulfil your promise and end business with environmental destroyers and those violating the rights of the Indigenous People. Which side are you on?"- Sônia Guajajara
Hi John,
Right now we're outside Tesco's HQ with an important message from Sônia Guajajara, an Indigenous leader from Brazil. We've parked an advertisement van with a giant video screen right outside Tesco's main building and are playing Sonia's appeal in the hope that Tesco's bosses inside will take note.
Sônia's community, home, and way of life are directly under threat because forests are being slashed and burned to meet the world's demand for industrial meat
Can you help us get Sonia's message directly to Tesco? We need to take over Tesco's social media pages, and let them know that we stand with Sonia in protecting the Amazon and other forests from industrial meat.

People power is already working. Over 160,000 people have signed the petition, Tesco is taking notice and under pressure. They've started putting out statements on social media saying they support our campaign and that their meat is free of deforestation.
But this simply isn't true. If Tesco really cares about protecting our forests they'll stop buying meat from forest-destroying companies [1]
Last week over 60,0000 emails filled the inbox of Dave Lewis, Tesco's CEO. Now it's time to hit them where it hurts and call out Tesco in front of their customers.
Every message or tweet that is left on Tesco's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter account will pile more pressure on Tesco to think again.
With your help, we can push Tesco to do the right thing. Will you help?
