In Brazil, the Indigenous movement and their allies have just achieved a significant victory ! The legal threat known as “Marco Temporal” has been defeated, with a vote of 7-2 in favor of declaring it unconstitutional ! BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR TO SUPPORT ONGOING EFFORTS TO DEFEND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS! 100% of your donation goes to our program work. This victory is monumental. "Marco Temporal" posed an existential threat to Indigenous rights, the Amazon, and 77 yet-to-be-recognized territories. Its defeat ensures the history of Indigenous peoples won't be erased. But the fight isn't over. Mining companies still threaten Indigenous lands. Your monthly support helps us combat these threats. The only real hope for the protection of the Amazon - and by extension our global climate – from utter destruction is the defense of Indigenous lands and protecting the ability of Indigenous peoples to preserve their communities, cultures, and resistance. Thank you for being a part of this movement !
