The Munduruku, Yanomami, Kayapó, and other Indigenous territories are under violent invasion in the Brazilian Amazon. Days ago, hundreds of Indigenous peoples arrived in Brazil's capital, launching a powerful, spontaneous mobilization to defend their rights and lands. They were met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and police in riot gear.
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry needs to hear this: Any partnerships with Bolsonaro on the Amazon will make the U.S. complicit in the theft of Indigenous lands! Kerry must speak out now.
Yesterday, Bill 490 advanced in the Brazilian Congress. This law would make demarcations of Indigenous territories unfeasible, allowing them to be opened up even more to extractive projects, such as mining, roads, and hydroelectric plants. We must act immediately. The resistance continues and we cannot let up the fight!
Support Indigenous peoples as they rise up for their rights, their territories, and for all of humanity. Show your solidarity with Indigenous Earth defenders by calling on Climate Envoy John Kerry and the Biden Administration to speak out for Indigenous rights.
