Today, a delegation of Brazilian indigenous leaders begins a historic journey in defense of their peoples' rights and territories. Over the next month, they will visit twelve European countries to report on the onslaught of brutal and escalating violations since President Bolsonaro took office.
Led by the Association of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples in partnership with civil society organizations such as Amazon Watch, the campaign "Indigenous Blood: Not a Single Drop More" aims to pressure the Brazilian government and agribusiness companies to fulfill international agreements on climate change and human rights.
As the delegation makes clear, genocide against Brazil's indigenous peoples is a pressing threat, and they must now join forces with international allies in their battle for life and the future of the Amazon.
