<P><STRONG>Through poetry, art, storytelling and activism, young people

<P>And not only that, they’re stepping up and demanding just solutions to
the interwoven crises we face as a global community. They know that the
choices we make today will shape our society, economy, health, and climate
for decades to come.</P>
<P>This <STRONG>International Youth Day</STRONG>, we celebrate the massive
contributions of the youngest generation. Their voices echo through the
streets of our communities, across international digital spaces, and in
the halls of some of the world’s most prominent buildings.</P>

<P>Indigenous peoples in Brazil have been disproportionately devastated by
the COVID-19 crisis. And the continued expansion and public funding of
coal, oil and gas in the country is increasing inequality, forced
displacement, and ultimately the persecution and murder of Indigenous
peoples and communities of colour.</P>
<P>In honor of the lives of Indigenous peoples in Brazil and the
International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples on August 9, we draw
attention to the injustices these communities face. <A
