gets!

This
week, the Brazilian Congress began voting for
a new law that will allow miners and
tree cutters to attack the Amazon rainforest and
sacred Indigenous
lands! I am one of the only Indigenous
members of Congress in Brazil and I’m asking
urgently: Please will you help me stop this
assault? The key vote is in days! Help me create
a global backlash the President cannot ignore.
Sign now and I will personally deliver
your voices to the Brazilian Congress and
President Lula himself.

Dear
friends, |
|
I
am writing to you as one of the only Indigenous
members of Congress in Brazil. This
email could mean major political trouble for me,
but our forests are being attacked in
Congress right now…and this is worth the
risk.
This week, the Brazilian Congress
began voting for a new law that
will allow miners and tree cutters back into our
forests and sacred lands, and it will
remove protections for Indigenous people like
me.
The key vote is in days!!! This is an
Amazon emergency and an Indigenous emergency. I
need your help.
Our country is so divided
that we need a
truly global outcry from
countries like yours that financially support
Brazil to stop this law. The Brazilian
Congress must feel the full weight of a global
spotlight right now!
And this is about
your life too.
Without the Amazon, and
without the protection that Indigenous peoples'
lands offer to our forests, rivers and precious
species, there is no way we'll avoid global
ecological apocalypse. This forest is
the lungs for all of us.
Please
sign this urgent call to stop the rainforest
attack. I will deliver your voices
inside the Brazilian congress and to President
Lula myself. Will you stand with me and
ensure my voice has even more power?

We,
Indigenous peoples, protect 80% of the earth's
biodiversity, despite being only 5% of the
global population. Brazil holds the
largest population of Indigenous peoples in the
Amazon, and the largest area of the Amazon
ecosystems. Indigenous territories across our
country have kept the forests and biomes alive,
despite constant attacks.
But if the
mining, agribusiness and oil lobby is successful
in this new legislative battle, all these
protections could be gone. This could literally
define the future of our
planet.
Without the Amazon, and
the Indigenous territories across Brazil, the
world cannot keep global warming under
control. So even if many of you don't
live in Brazil, we will all be affected by what
happens here in the coming
days!
The key vote is just
days away --
please help me gather enough voices from around
the world to shield Indigenous communities from
this onslaught. Indigenous people in Brazil are
doing all they can to fight back -- but without
a global pressure campaign it won't be
enough.
Sign the petition now and share
with everyone you know -- every
voice counts now: |

Avaaz
has been fighting hand in hand with Indigenous
peoples to protect the Amazon and all ecosystems
in Brazil, and everywhere. But we're up against
tremendous pressure -- and the most recent
attack caught all of us by surprise. If we lose
this battle now, so much of what we fought for
together is at stake. Let’s not let that
happen!
With hope and
determination,
Congresswoman Célia
Xakriabá, on behalf of the Indigenous defense
front in Congress, and together with the Avaaz
team. |
