Tomorrow, the Brazilian Supreme Court will begin ruling to determine the legal status of Indigenous peoples' land rights. Business interests and politicians are pushing to use the so-called "Marco Temporal" (aka, the "Time Limit Trick") to drastically limit these rights in order to exploit Indigenous territories. Indigenous leaders are calling for international solidarity to protect their lands. Will you join us?

The "Time Limit Trick" deviously redefines Indigenous lands as only those which were occupied at the time that the Brazilian Constitution was signed in 1988. It willfully ignores the brutal history of forced displacement, land theft, and violence that occurred before then, and instead it seeks to limit Indigenous territories to only what had not already been stolen from them.

This legal loophole has previously been used by the Bolsonaro government to paralyze and even reverse the demarcation of Indigenous lands, despite it being blatantly unconstitutional. As the trial begins, Indigenous peoples across Brazil need our solidarity to protect the future of the Amazon!

The rainforest cannot stand to lose even more Indigenous land to logging, agribusiness, or mining. Raise your voice with us tomorrow!
