RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK : The Other WORLD CUP Nobody Is Watching...

 

Dear friend, The world is glued to the World Cup. Thirty-two teams. One trophy. Rules everyone agrees to follow. But there’s another tournament happening right now – one that most people never see. Welcome to the Corporate Cup. In one bracket: palm oil expansion. In another: mining companies. On the other side: industrial logging and the banks that finance destruction. They’re all competing for the same prize: More rainforests cleared. More land converted. More profit extracted. And unlike the World Cup, there are no referees stepping onto the pitch when Indigenous rights are violated. No yellow cards when critical wildlife habitats are destroyed. No instant replay when communities lose the forests they depended on for generations. The good news? These corporations aren’t unbeatable.

Show corporations the red card Again and again, we’ve seen public pressure force companies to change course, banks tighten policies, and decision-makers respond when enough people show up and demand better. That’s where you come in, friend. Tighten your laces, grab a friend, and grab your favorite water bottle. Over the coming months, we’re launching new opportunities for supporters to engage in our work around deforestation, climate change, and Indigenous rights. If you want to be among the first people notified when those campaigns launch, sign up for our team today. JOIN THE TEAM The strongest teams don’t wait until the final whistle to get involved. If you think you’re limber enough to take on some of the biggest corporations in the world, make sure you’re signed up for our summer camp. And don’t skip out on training days! We have made wins where it counts, scoring goals against heavy hitters like Unilever, Nestle, and PepsiCo, and with a Network as strong as ours, we can do it again. The Corporate Cup is already underway. Forests need more people on the field. Your Friends at Rainforest Action Network
