Dilma: Stop the Amazon Chainsaw Massacre

Dilma's Wake-Up Call!

Let's give Dilma a global wake up call by flooding Brazilian embassies with phone calls. We can ramp up the pressure if her ambassadors all over the world report a deluge of calls to veto the bill.

Use the tool below to call the Brazilian embassy in your country

Some tips on what to say:
  • I urge President Dilma of Brazil to veto the new forestry bill recently approved by the Brazilian Congress.
  • The Amazon and all of Brazil's precious forests are threatened by this bill.
  • As we approach the Rio summit, the world wants Dilma to be a true global leader and veto this catastrophic law.
  • 79% of Brazilians oppose the new Forest Bill, I stand with them -- Brazil's forests are the world's lung.
  • Stronger measures must be urgently taken to protect environmental activists and prevent further murders.
Please note that most Embassies are open between 9am and 5pm. Don't have a Brazilian embassy in your country? Call the Brazilian Mission to the United Nations instead.

Remember to be polite, we'll be far more convincing if we're reasonable and courteous! If you don't get through, it probably means we're jamming their lines -- a good sign! KEEP CALLING!
