Sign the petition to support the cry for help of the Yanomami people, and let's bring our voices to key governments around the world that can put pressure on Brazil. | | | | | Indigenous peoples across the Amazon are fighting the battle for their lives, and for the rainforest. But the pace in which violence is escalating in Brazil is outstanding -- with attacks happening almost every day, blatantly ignored by Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro. This is already a major humanitarian crisis -- and the world must act.
After the story of the young girl being killed got out, members of her community escaped into the forest to find safety from the illegal miners and protect their children. Nobody deserves to live in fear like that.
We've seen that the Brazilian government will only move if the world puts political and economic pressure -- let's join forces as a global community of millions to quickly take this to the front pages of major global newspapers and to world leaders: | | | | For over a decade, the Avaaz community has been committed to supporting Indigenous rights across the world, and the people of the Amazon have always been our partners. Now they're calling for help -- and every voice counts for them in this darkest hour.
With hope and determination,
Diego, Laura, Luciana, Stefanie, Bieta, Luis and the rest of the Avaaz team | | | | | | |
