As fires continue to rage in the Amazon rainforest, millions of people have taken to the streets around the world to demand radical, systemic change to the way humanity is handling the climate catastrophe.
At New York's Climate Week, indigenous leaders from the Amazon, pro-democracy activists from Brazil, and members of Amazon Watch's team arrived to make our voices heard.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg traveled by boat to New York City and marched at the front of the youth-led climate strike – but so did Helena Gualinga, a 17-year-old indigenous rights defender from Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
And she wasn't alone – indigenous activists marched in the U.S. from coast to coast and targeted the major financiers of the destruction of the Amazon, including Wall Street giant BlackRock.
