The Indigenous People of the Amazon are under attack! Brazilian President
Bolsonaro wants to open up some of the most fragile rainforest to
predatory mining companies.

Let’s pressure the Brazilian Congress to vote down Bolsonaro’s plan and
protect the Amazon!

John,

Bolsonaro says it’s his ‘dream’ to open up the Amazon rainforest for
mining but for the Indigenous People who call it their home, it’s a
nightmare.

Ripping up the land to mine for gold and diamonds will devastate the
precious ecosystems and the Indigenous communities who have protected
these sacred lands for years.

Bolsonaro wants to rush his plan through a vote in Congress in the next
few weeks, so we have to act fast.

If we can show Brazil’s politicians that the whole world is watching as
they’re deciding the Amazon’s fate, we can stop this senseless
destruction.

Add your name and show them that there is massive public opposition to
this plan.

[ [link removed] ]Join the call: Stop Bolsonaro’s Amazon nightmare!

Thirty years ago Brazil’s constitution put these Indigenous lands out of
bounds.

But ever since Bolsonaro came to power, mining giants and small-time
prospectors have been clamoring to get their hands on the Amazon’s
treasures. Unless we stand-up and stop Bolsonaro’s plan, this could be
their golden ticket.

This attack on these Indigenous Peoples’ lands is an attack on all of us.
Our survival depends on the Amazon rainforest, and the Indigenous People
that nurture it.

Now those fighting on the frontlines, like our allies at the Articulation
of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil and the Pariri Indigenous Association need
our help. Let’s stand with them in their hour of need.
