<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Chainsaws screech through the forest, birds and monkeys flee. The giant
tree falls crashing, the trunk is shipped to Europe, the remaining branches
burn. <B>Strong and healthy rainforest turns into monoculture
farmland.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Now the EU wants to increase the demand for farmland by signing a
massive trade agreement</B> with a group of four South American countries called
Mercosur. [1] This EU-Mercosur deal is like pouring gasoline on the
fire.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>But, there is a chance for us to get this deal stopped:</B> Leaders
from France, the Netherlands, and Austria already announced they won’t sign the
deal in its current form. [2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>The EU is now negotiating the final agreement and countries are pushing
for their own interests. <B>All we need is one country to totally block
it.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>You signed this petition last year, <STRONG>now the fires are
accelerating again, and we need to up the pressure, to make sure EU countries
say no to this deal,</STRONG> whatever form it takes. Please share our call
widely with family and friends. Together we can stop the deal.</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>The EU-Mercosur agreement is essentially about <B>exchanging beef, soy,
and wood (grown on the Amazon's ashes) with gas-guzzling cars and toxic
pesticides that aren’t even allowed in the EU anymore.</B> [3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Far-right leader of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro is confident the EU will sign
and has been encouraging big agribusiness to burn down the rainforest since he
came into office two years ago. <B>The irretrievable loss of primeval rainforest
has been accelerating ever since.</B> [4]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Burning down the forest <B>destroys its vital carbon stores and heats up
the climate. This comes along with the displacement and murder of indigenous
people and also the extinction of thousands of species that call the forest
their home.</B> [5]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>But we won’t stand for this, and our movement is growing and
internationally connected. Over 600 scientists, two Brazilian indigenous
organisations and 340 civil society groups are calling to stop the deal. [6]
<B>Now we, more than 1.5 million Europeans [7], are joining the call by sharing
this petition.</B></BIG></P>

<P><BIG><B>Can ordinary people like us really make a difference in stopping a
years-in-the-making treaty between world superpowers?</B> Of course, we can!
Remember TTIP? [8] When the EU and the US were on the verge of signing an
agreement that would’ve flooded Europe with hormone-treated meat and GMO
produce, <B>people like you joined a three-million-strong citizens’ movement</B>
to stop it. In the end, the agreement was canceled.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Let's do it again!</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>David (London), Jörg (Lübeck), Marta (Warsaw) and the entire WeMove
Europe team</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>PS. If the EU-Mercosur agreement passes, <B>Europe will be importing a
whole lot more fruit and vegetables treated with pesticides banned in the
EU.</B> [9] Megacorporations like Syngenta and Bayer-Monsanto have been churning
out chemicals, especially in Brazil, that they aren’t allowed to sell here. [10]
