John,

My name is Livia, and I’m a Digital Campaigner with the 350 team here in
Brazil.

The worst oil spill in my country’s history is happening right now. 2000
kilometers of coastline are currently drenched in oil, creating a dire
situation for countless coastal communities.

While all this is happening, the largest oil companies on earth are
gathering in Brazil. The reason? There’s a massive, multibillion dollar
auction of oil rights happening tomorrow. And we need your help to create
an international uproar.

Two of the biggest companies set to appear at the oil rights auction in
Brazil tomorrow are based in the US: ExxonMobil and Chevron.  Watch the
video below to learn more about what’s going on, then join the Twitter
storm happening now to shame these companies.

Our movement in Brazil has put up fierce resistance to fossil fuel
expansion for years. We’ve stopped oil auctions like this one in the past,
and also made monumental steps this year by getting Brazil’s biggest
states to ban fracking. Fossil fuel companies are already nervous about
this auction — BP (UK) and Total (France) have already pulled out of
participating of their own volition.

By sending a message to ExxonMobil and Chevron, you’ll send a clear signal
to these oil giants that their actions overseas will have consequences at
home. Whether they heed your words or not, your tweet is still meaningful
for us over here in Brazil. We’re up against some of the most dangerous
conditions for climate activists anywhere on earth, and it means a lot to
know that we have your support.

[ [link removed] ]Take a moment to stand in solidarity with our struggle in Brazil by
demanding Exxon, Chevron and Murphy’s quit tomorrow’s oil rights auction.

If you would like to find another way to help we are accepting
[ [link removed] ]donations here.

In solidarity,

Livia
