Dear friends,

They shot his dad 13 times across his entire body, and left him to die.

Ramón's father, who was defending his family's land in Colombia's rainforest from powerful palm oil companies, was murdered in broad daylight. Now Ramón's mum worries for her son's life.

At the same time, companies across the world are profiting from the murder of environmental defenders like Ramón's dad, importing hundreds of millions of dollars of palm oil that ends up on our supermarket shelves.

But finally, a new groundbreaking law in Europe could hold global companies responsible for the human rights and environmental abuses occurring in their supply chains and allow victims to seek justice in European courts!

Industry will try to water it down, but the EU has asked to hear the opinions of people from across the world! This is our chance -- let's make this the biggest public consultation ever and help pass this historic law! Once we hit 1 million, we'll deliver it to EU decision makers directly, and via opinion polls and full page ads.

Sign now to defend people like Ramón

For decades, big corporations have profited from human rights and environmental abuses in their supply chains -- from conflict minerals, to slave labour, and child exploitation. And the very people who are defending our planet are being murdered for profit.

As consumers, we can feel powerless -- but this historic law could quite literally change the rules of global business, requiring companies to investigate their supply chains and clean up potential abuses, no matter where they occur.

We know big business will try and push back, but there is strong support in the EU Parliament -- and politicians want to hear from us! So, let's flood the public consultation before it closes in days and embolden Europe to pass this historic law. Add your name now and let's stand up for Ramón and countless others on the front lines!

Sign now to defend people like Ramón

We know the power of our movement. When we came together to support Indigenous leaders in the Amazon defend their land from giant oil corporations in court... they won! Now, this law could help prevent children from being exploited, environmental defenders from being killed, and pristine rainforests from being cut down. So, let's channel our power again and make it happen. 

With hope,

Christoph, Sarah, Risalat, Anneke, Nana, Spyro and the rest of the Avaaz team
