*[Enwl-eng] Death blow for the Amazon?

[ENWL]

            Far right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says it's his 
"dream" to crack open the Amazon.

            And he's pushing legislation to make his dream come true --  
opening the rainforest to out-of-control mining and expelling Indigenous 
peoples from their ancestral lands to make it happen.

            These hideous bills could be voted on any day now -- we need an 
urgent, all-out push to stop him. That means polling to put pressure on key 
politicians, generating national and international media coverage, and 
backing the Indigenous organizations on the front lines to stop this 
dangerous legislation in its tracks.

            And it means we're counting on you -- will you chip in today to 
save the Amazon and its people?

            If we can't stop these bills from passing, we'll see the Amazon 
divvied up and parceled out to the highest bidders in the mining, logging, 
and big agriculture industries -- a disaster for our planet's climate and 
biodiversity.

            And we'll see the erasure of Indigenous peoples across the 
Brazilian Amazon, including isolated peoples that have never come into 
contact with outsiders.

            This is the corporate free-for-all future that Bolsonaro 
desperately desires, but together, we can still stop it from coming to pass.

            When you chip in $2 today, you'll fund a campaign with the power 
to stand up to Bolsonaro, his allies in Congress, and the greedy 
corporations that back them. You'll pay for investigations to expose the 
companies behind this inhumane legislation, running targeted TV, radio, and 
digital advertising to mobilize popular opinion against Bolsonaro, and so 
much more. Will you donate today?
