OUR 2 CAMPAIGNS :
Brazilian government wants to pass a new law to open up the heart of Amazon to devastating industrial corporations projects, and legalize the expulsion of indigenous from their ancestral lands. The Brazilian Government pushing draft bill 490 that will basically legalize genocide — it will be voted on the congress on 08/25/2021. But there is hope, if the people from all over the world are against the genocide of indigenous people, and destruction of Amazonia Forest, our pressure could tip the balance
