This
is horrifying! A 12-year old girl, from
the Yanomami tribe, was allegedly raped and
murdered by illegal
miners, deep in the heart of the
Amazon. More than 20,000 have invaded
Yanomami lands, waging a bloody war against the
community and the rainforest. It's a bloodbath.
The Brazilian government is ignoring this crisis
-- but a million voices from around the
world could put the Yanomami plea for help under
a global spotlight. Let's stop this
massacre. |

Dear
friends, |
|
A
12-year old girl from the Yanomami Indigenous
community was allegedly raped and murdered by
illegal miners. A 3-year-old is also
missing after being thrown in a
river.
20,000 illegal miners have invaded
Yanomami lands, leaving a trail of bloodshed and
terror. The guardians of the Amazon rainforest
are being slaughtered. Rivers are
poisoned with mercury from the mines,
and the rainforest is being
decimated.
Let's stop this
massacre!
A thundering global call,
backed by millions, could raise the
alarm and force leaders to take urgent
action. They're about to meet on human
rights and the environment at the Summit of the
Americas -- let's show up!
The
Yanomami can't keep resisting on their own. But
we could force this into the global spotlight,
right now. Add your name and pass this on,
fast:

The
Yanomami have lived in the rainforest's embrace
for centuries. It is their entire world. But now
it's being butchered as illegal miners rush for
gold -- and the Yanomami are fighting for their
lives.
Brazil's president has
championed the miners for years. He's
leading a ruthless assault on the rainforest,
encouraging loggers, miners, and farmers to
ravage one of the most important ecosystems on
earth. We can't be
silent.
What happens in the
Amazon will affect every single one of
us. But our voices can make a massive
difference. Together we can force this into the
global spotlight, creating maximum pressure on
powerful leaders to intervene, right
now.
The Yanomami can't
keep resisting this deadly assault
alone. Let's join their fight, millions
of us, from every country on the planet.
Add your voice, and then tell
everyone: |

For
over a decade, the Avaaz community has worked
hand-in-hand with Indigenous communities across
the Amazon, fighting against attempts to take
away their rights and their lands. And when
Covid-19 hit, we helped more than 100
communities shield themselves from the virus,
saving countless lives. Now, the Yanomami are
calling on us to fight side-by-side, and push
governments to act on this emergency before it's
too late. Let's do it!
With hope and
determination,
Diego, Mike, Luciana, Ana,
Luis and the rest of the Avaaz team
