John,
Far right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says it's his "dream" to
crack open the Amazon.
And he's pushing legislation to make his dream come true -- opening the
rainforest to out-of-control mining and expelling Indigenous peoples from
their ancestral lands to make it happen.
These hideous bills could be voted on any day now -- we need an urgent,
all-out push to stop him. That means polling to put pressure on key
politicians, generating national and international media coverage, and
backing the Indigenous organizations on the front lines to stop this
dangerous legislation in its tracks.
And it means we're counting on you, John -- will you chip in
today to save the Amazon and its people?

If we can't stop these bills from passing, we'll see the Amazon divvied up
and parceled out to the highest bidders in the mining, logging, and big
agriculture industries -- a disaster for our planet's climate and
biodiversity.
And we'll see the erasure of Indigenous peoples across the Brazilian
Amazon, including isolated peoples that have never come into contact with
outsiders.
This is the corporate free-for-all future that Bolsonaro desperately
desires, but together, we can still stop it from coming to pass.

today, you'll fund a campaign with the power to stand up to Bolsonaro, his
allies in Congress, and the greedy corporations that back them. You'll pay
for investigations to expose the companies behind this inhumane
legislation, running targeted TV, radio, and digital advertising to
mobilize popular opinion against Bolsonaro, and so much more. Will you
donate today?
