"They keep trying to silence our voices. Because they know that our voices are powerful."
– Nina Gualinga
This #GivingTuesday, every dollar donated will be doubled up to $50,000 and 100% goes directly to our program work, including our expanding support for Amazonian women defenders.
Indigenous Amazonian women are at the forefront of the fight against climate change and the destruction of the rainforest. Can you make a donation on this global day of giving in solidarity with the Indigenous women who protect and defend the Amazon?
When I think of women-led resistance and solutions, I think of Indigenous Amazonian women defenders including María Taan and Nina Gualinga who are part of Mujeres Amazónicas.
As Nina shared on our blog last week, the Mujeres Amazónicas have joined together in defense of their rights and rainforest territories and have successfully forced out extractive companies and industries often risking their own lives in the process. When faced with violence and threats, we respond with solidarity and advocacy to help ensure their safety.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, today your gift will make twice the impact. All donations are doubled today only!
Will you make a contribution to grow this global solidarity movement and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples across the Amazon?
With deep gratitude,
Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
