"We trust Amazon Watch, because they are the people who have been there by our side. They are the ones who have supported us when we have been forced to struggle. Amazon Watch has been with us."
– Catalina Chumpi of the Shuar Nation
Supporters like you know how important and effective our work is. The raging fires in Brazil and Bolivia this summer have been an abject crisis for indigenous peoples, who are joining firefighting efforts, living with dangerous smoke, and seeing their ancestral lands destroyed, all while defending their territories against illegal deforestation.
Sometimes, we ask for your financial support for our work, and we're very grateful to you for standing with us. But this time, instead of asking you to reach for your wallet, all we need you to reach for is your mouse!
We have a chance to raise over $100,000 from CREDO Mobile for our work to defend the Amazon, our global climate, and the rights of indigenous peoples!
But we can't do it without YOU! To raise those funds, we need ALL our friends and allies to VOTE online and share the ballot during October. How much money CREDO allocates to our work depends upon how many votes we get this month. More votes means more funds for indigenous-led land defense efforts in the Amazon Basin.
As always, thank you!
