“Stop the war against Brazil's indigenous peoples”, 30 April 2019

President Jair Bolsonaro has “declared war” on Brazil’s tribal peoples, but you can help. Will you send him a message today and ask him to stop Brazil’s genocide?
Since taking office, Bolsonaro has: Taken the government’s indigenous affairs department, FUNAI, away from the Ministry of Justice and placed it under the control of Minister Damares Alves, an evangelical preacher whose NGO is under investigation for inciting racial hatred against indigenous peoples; Taken the responsibility to map out indigenous territories away from FUNAI and given it to the Agriculture Ministry, which is run by anti-indigenous politicians of the agribusiness lobby; Drafted decrees to make it harder to protect indigenous territories, and to “monitor” indigenous peoples’ allies…[T]hese moves spell disaster for tribal peoples nationwide and could wipe out dozens of uncontacted tribes. But across the country, indigenous peoples are fighting back. They won’t let anyone steal their land, because without it they can’t survive.They’re asking for your help. Please take two minutes to email or tweet President Bolsonaro today…
