Power the Amazon resistance

Power the Amazon resistance
We’ve just received an urgent cry for help from the heart of the Amazon: indigenous communities are facing an all-out assault that could destroy their culture and their home!

Now fearless activist Sônia Guajajara and other indigenous leaders are calling for our help.

Brazil’s far-right president wants to take away their lands and has threatened to ‘give guns to all the ranchers’ who want to destroy them -- and now he wants to open the rainforest to new oil drilling, mining, and even more logging.

We can't let that happen!

To fight back, Sônia and the leaders of APIB, the largest Brazilian indigenous association, are urgently building an epic resistance to save the Amazon. And in weeks, they'll lead thousands to march into Brazil’s capital to demand urgent action. They're fighting for their survival -- and we could help them win!

If enough of us chip in now, we can give them the best lawyers and safety experts, cutting-edge communications tech to sound the alarm when villages are attacked, media and advocacy liaisons to get their story out, and ramp up our campaigning to secure the strong forest and global biodiversity protections we need.

This could save their lives and the forest -- so chip in now and let's power their fight to save the Amazon, and help protect life on Earth.
