"Asset managers must stop supporting companies that violate human rights, commit genocide and ethnocide in our territories, disregard women's rights, and affect our environment. All corporations that invest in fossil fuels must initiate a profound transition that protects life on this planet and our Amazon."
– Patricia Gualinga, a historic leader of the Kichwa people of Sarayaku and Mujeres Amazonicas

The Kichwa people steward the land where the Andes mountain range meets the Amazon rainforest. Several major rivers converge here to form the headwaters of the mighty Amazon River. This region is also where oil Block 28 illegitimately overlaps titled Kichwa territory. The Kichwa have made their opposition to oil drilling on their lands abundantly clear.

100% of every donation goes directly to our program work to protect and defend the Amazon!
Our latest report, Investing in Amazon Crude II, exposes the harm caused by the oil industry and its complicit financial actors. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street hold over $1.2 billion in oil companies actively violating the rights of 43 Kichwa communities. Recurring oil spills consistently leave thousands of people without food or fresh water.
The only way for these three firms to end their complicity is to stop financing Amazon oil. Can you make a monthly donation today to support our work to end Amazon destruction? Together, we can defend Indigenous rights and permanently protect the Amazon.
Thank you for standing with the Kichwa!
