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 6,000 SumOfUs members in Brazil who are already resisting the proposed new law.

Bill PL 490/2007 will violate indigenous peoples’ hard-won constitutional and international rights, as well as bringing unprecedented social and environmental setbacks. We call on MPs to veto PL 490/2007 in Congress, and to respect the original peoples of Brazil, as provided for by law.
