Today, you have a unique opportunity to help end Amazon crude and its destruction.

The data is in: California is the world's largest consumer of oil from the Ecuadorian Amazon. Newsom and the corporations that drive the state’s demand for Amazon oil are complicit and must take action to protect one of the most important biomes in the world.

This week, we have a key opportunity to influence policymakers and global leaders at the 9th annual Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, where Amazon Watch is accompanying an Amazonian Indigenous delegation demanding the end of all oil extraction in the rainforest.

Your donation amplifies Indigenous calls to end oil and gas drilling across the Amazon, as we have the attention of presidents throughout the Americas. And, in honor of World Environment Day, a long-time Amazon Watch donor is matching all gifts up to $20,000, multiplying the impact of your donation.

Throughout the Summit, we are carrying out actions and rallies centering Indigenous voices and hosting diplomatic meetings and Indigenous-led panels demanding an end to California’s role in the continued destruction of the rainforest. We’re even posting ads throughout the city to generate attention about the role of the U.S. and California, in industry-led pollution and human rights violations across Amazonía.

You are exposing California’s crude reality and offering solutions to protect the rainforest. Thank you!

For the end of Amazon crude,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
