Dear Jack,

Genocide is not yet a thing of the past. But today, on Giving Tuesday, you can DOUBLE your donation AT NO COST TO YOU to help stop attempts to wipe out Indigenous peoples, and support the lives and livelihoods of uncontacted tribes.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift will be matched by a generous donor who will double your donation penny-for-penny up to £80,000/$90,0000. Our goal is to raise £160,000/ $180,000 for our on-the-ground and advocacy work with Indigenous peoples.

In August, the discovery of the body of an Indigenous man in the Brazilian Amazon reminded us of how genocide continues to take place today. While we know almost nothing about this man – not even his name or that of his people – we do know he was the last of his tribe: all the others had been killed in a series of brutal attacks. With his death, their genocide is now complete. 

His experience, though extraordinarily tragic, is far from unique. There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes in Brazil, and many others around the world. Their lands – and their lives – are continually under threat. 

At Survival, we fight to prevent such vicious and genocidal attacks on uncontacted tribes, and for their lands to be free of invasions so they can survive and thrive, and live in the way they choose. This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to join us. 

Giving Tuesday demonstrates the power of collective action and the importance of global generosity. Will you donate today to support our vital work? 

We know that times are very hard for many, but we also know that Survival has committed supporters around the world who believe, as we do, that these massacres and killings have no place in today's world. Join us in doing everything we can to stop them.

Thank you,
