June 2023: UPDATE - Brazil's law makers in the lower chamber of Congress just voted to pass this bill.

Any day now Brazil's Senate could vote on this nightmare plan and it will become law - but if we act quickly we have a chance of stopping it. Brazil's lawmakers care about their international reputation, so if there's a massive global outcry they'll think twice about backing this bill.

Let's stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and protect these precious lands. Sign the petition and share far and wide. Let's make it impossible for Brazil's lawmakers to ignore our call.

*****************************************************************************

Brazilian President Bolsonaro wants to pass a new law to open up the heart of the Amazon to devastating industrial projects, and legalise the expulsion of isolated indigenous tribes from their ancestral lands. 

He’s pushing draft bill 490/2007 -- that will basically legalise genocide -- and it will be voted on in Congress any day now. 

But there is hope. Even the greediest politicians are worried about their image, and we can use that to support the Indigenous activists fighting this new law. 

If we can show Brazilian MPs that people from all over the world are against the genocide of indigenous people, and destruction of the Amazon, our pressure could tip the balance.  

Add your name now, and join 238,000 Ekō members around the world who are already resisting the proposed new law.
