Dear friend of the Amazon –

A group of generous donors inspired by the work of Amazonian Earth Defenders has offered to match all donations up to $100,000 through Giving Tuesday on November 29!

Will you donate today to support Indigenous communities protecting the Amazon? Your donation will be matched, doubling your impact, and 100% of every donation goes directly to defend the rainforest and uplift Indigenous rights.

World leaders are gathered right now at COP27 in Sharm al-Sheikh, Egypt to make decisions about our rainforests and our planet. 293 Indigenous leaders from around the globe are there on behalf of their communities, land, water, and life. But they need our support to be heard over the more than 600 fossil fuel lobbyists who want to continue destroying the Amazon and putting our planet at risk.

I am at COP27 beside our Indigenous partners. Indigenous and frontline communities have the solutions to avoid the worst of the climate crisis. We will not rest until they are heard.

Your gift, which will be matched for Giving Tuesday, sends a clear message of solidarity with Indigenous Earth Defenders and climate-vulnerable communities. With your support, together we can build a future where living forests and Indigenous sovereignty are the blueprint for our world.

For the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director

P.S. Will your employer match your donation? Many employers match employee gifts, and the email receipt you will receive from us is often all you need to see your gift matched! Our team is here to support you.
