Last week, demonstrations were held around the world to protect and preserve the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous peoples. In more than twenty countries across six continents, thousands of people marched, blocked traffic, displayed art, and held vigils, sit-ins, and other events.

Today we released a video with highlights from all over the world of the Global Day of Action for the Amazon and published a document with Five Ways to Continue Defending the Amazon!

The powerful response to the Amazon fires is a ray of hope in these dark times, but one day of awareness and demonstrations is nowhere near enough to protect the Amazon and its peoples. We need to follow through and keep up the pressure on Brazil's racist and repressive government and the corporations that profit from the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

Partly because of public actions like these, people around the world are connecting the dots between Amazon destruction, climate change, and corporate profiteering – and it's making a difference!

Several companies and financial institutions have already cut their ties with deforestation drivers in Brazil. But we can't stop now because the worst actors – the "Dirty Dozen" – have yet to take action to end their complicity in Amazon destruction.

Thank you for helping to build a world in which the Amazon is protected and indigenous peoples are respected!
