John, your commitment to solidarity with Indigenous communities across the Amazon gives us hope! We are so grateful for the ways in which you show up for the rainforest and its people.
Today, we need you to sign this urgent action. With support from our community, Kakataibo Indigenous leader Herlín Odicio is in Lima this week attending meetings with government leaders. We only have a couple days to make sure Herlín can deliver thousands of signatures of support!
Thanks to this growing movement, we recently funded an investigation that exposes Peruvian agencies as complicit in human rights violations and a massive land grab that threatens Indigenous lives. The Kakataibo, Shipibo, and Asháninka Indigenous peoples in the Peruvian Amazon are facing invasions by land-grabbers, illegal loggers, and narco-traffickers, often in collusion with corrupt local government officials. Now these Earth defenders need your solidarity and voice! Can we count on you to take action right now?
Sign the letter to Peruvian ministers making two key demands:
- Expedite requests for community land titles, because legalizing community ownership will help stop the threats and violence from land grabbers.
- Carry out immediate measures to protect threatened leaders, including prosecution of the people behind recent killings.
Will you join us by signing the letter and sharing it with your friends and family?
