            MPs of Brazil: vote against genocide and reject Bill 490/2007

                        Bolsonaro’s Brazilian Congress is about to vote on a 
new law that will force indigenous tribes from their lands and open up the 
heart of the Amazon for exploitation by industrial meat and timber. Sign 
your name against this legalised genocide:

            Vladimir,

            Bolsonaro allies in Congress want 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.

            Let's show the Brazilian Congress 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 
already fighting this:

            
MPs of Brazil: vote against genocide and reject Bill 490/2007

            One of the most obscene demands in this Bill -- a provision 
designed to ensure isolated tribes will be expelled from their homes -- is 
the obligation for them to present evidence they inhabited their lands 
before the enactment of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution.

            For people who have lived without contact with colonial culture’s 
laws and record-keeping, this is, by definition, impossible to comply with. 
The game is of course stacked in favour of the industrial meat and timber 
corporations.

            Indigenous warriors simply fighting for their right to exist 
have been protesting for days in Brasilia -- and have been viciously 
attacked by the police with rubber bullets and tear gas.

            Let’s join them to help prevent the erasure of the original 
peoples of the Amazon and destruction of its vital forests.  Sign now to 
create such enormous global pressure against this genocide bill that even 
Bolsonaro can’t ignore it:

            Together, SumOfUs members can stop even the greediest of 
executives and politicians in their tracks. Our pressure works. We have 
already secured important victories against some of the world's biggest 
companies -- Apple, Amazon and Facebook. Let's now join in solidarity with 
the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon against the powerful industrial meat 
and timber corporations influencing Bolsonaro. #PL490NO.
