<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" dir=ltr>Dear friends,
<BR><BR><STRONG>They shot his dad 13 times across his entire
body, and left him to die.<BR></STRONG><BR><STRONG>Ramón's
father, </STRONG>who was defending his family’s land in
Colombia’s rainforest from powerful palm oil companies, was
<STRONG>murdered in broad daylight.</STRONG> Now Ramón's mum
worries for her son's life.<BR><BR>At the same time,
<STRONG>c</STRONG><STRONG>ompanies across the world are
profiting from the murder of environmental defenders like
Ram<STRONG>ón's dad</STRONG></STRONG>, importing hundreds of
millions of dollars of palm oil that ends up on our
supermarket shelves.<BR><BR>But finally, <STRONG>a new
groundbreaking law in Europe could hold global companies
responsible</STRONG> for the human rights and environmental
abuses occurring in their supply chains and allow victims to
seek justice in European courts!<BR><BR>Industry will try to
water it down, but the EU has asked to hear the opinions of
people from across the world! <STRONG>This is our chance --
let’s make this the biggest public consultation ever and help
pass this historic law!</STRONG> Once we hit 1 million, we’ll
deliver it to EU decision makers directly, and via opinion
polls and full page ads. <BR><BR><A class=wordwrap href="https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/eu_corporate_accountability_loc/?bUSymfb&signup=1&cl=17945651881&v=131272&_checksum=789b1377c1674085b7a91e3c179d860756153388926443aa122bc3096e8c9e9e"><B><U>Sign now to defend people like Ramón</U></B></A>
<BR><BR>For decades, big corporations have profited from human
rights and environmental abuses in their supply chains -- from
<STRONG>conflict minerals, to slave labour, and child
exploitation. </STRONG>And the very people who are
defending our planet are being murdered for profit.<BR><BR>As
consumers, we can feel powerless -- but <STRONG>this historic
law could quite literally change the rules of global
business,</STRONG> requiring companies to investigate their
supply chains and clean up potential abuses, no matter where
they occur.<BR><BR>We know big business will try and push
back, but there is strong support in the EU Parliament -- and
politicians want to hear from us! So, let’s flood the public
consultation before it closes in days and embolden Europe to
pass this historic law. <STRONG>Add your
name </STRONG><STRONG>now and let’s stand up for Ramón
and countless others on the front lines!</STRONG> <BR><BR><A class=wordwrap href="https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/eu_corporate_accountability_loc/?bUSymfb&signup=1&cl=17945651881&v=131272&_checksum=789b1377c1674085b7a91e3c179d860756153388926443aa122bc3096e8c9e9e"><B><U>Sign now to defend people like Ramón</U></B></A>

<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" dir=ltr>We know the power of our
movement. When we came together to support Indigenous leaders
in the Amazon defend their land from giant oil corporations in
court... they won! Now, this law could help prevent children
from being exploited, environmental defenders from being
killed, and pristine rainforests from being cut down. So,
let’s channel our power again and make it
happen. <BR><BR>With hope,<BR><BR>Christoph, Sarah,
