Vladimir,
"If I become
President there will not be a centimeter more of indigenous
land." Those were the words of Jair Bolsonaro during his
campaign to become the Brazilian president, which he
eventually did. And so far, he has followed through on this
horrifying promise, waging war on Indigenous peoples and the
lands that are both sacred to them and vital to the entire
world's fight against climate change. Indigenous
leaders are calling on the International Criminal Court (ICC)
to charge Bolsonaro with crimes against humanity, will you join them?
Ecocide is defined as
"causing serious and lasting harm to the environment and
people." The term fits Bolsonaro's actions as president like a
blood-covered glove. Bolsonaro has attacked
environmental protections at every level — if you take away
some regulations, and stop enforcing the others, what are you
left with? A rainforest that is soon to be a savannah, unable
to aid in the offsetting of greenhouse gases in our earth's
atmosphere. Sign the petition and implore Chief Prosecutor
Fatou Bensouda to charge Jair Bolsonaro with crimes against
humanity for ecocide!
Thank you,
