Last week, we witnessed violent white supremacy on full display in the U.S. capital. It was impossible to ignore the difference in policing: when Indigenous people and Earth defenders organize nonviolently to defend life around the world, they are met with brutal repression and criminalization. Yet, a violent mob of Trump supporters was politely escorted out of the Capitol.

Dismantling racism is about defending our collective human rights, and we cannot fully protect the Amazon and our climate without them. Supporting the long-term struggles of Indigenous peoples is a fundamental part of this movement.

Our Indigenous partners endure systemic racism every day. For example, even though mining is illegal on Indigenous lands in Brazil, the Munduruku are forced to organize to protect their territory against mining giant Anglo American. As recently as November 2020, the company had requested 13 copper prospecting and research permits on their lands, and the lawless Bolsonaro administration is happy to oblige.

Their struggle must be our struggle too. We must hold companies that violate Indigenous rights and those that finance them accountable. Together, we must unite against racism in all its forms and grow our solidarity with Indigenous peoples. Today you can learn more about the Munduruku’s demand that Anglo American publicly commit to not mine on Indigenous lands.
