"Institutions, govts, &the courts are bringing shame on Brazil by submitting 2 a colonialist gold mining project t could wipe out part of the Amazon
In a struggle t belongs 2everyone, leaving #Indigenous women 2fight this battle alone is not enough,nor is it decent. Where are the rest of the Brazilian ppl? Where are the Canadian ppl? Where are the activists of the world? Most battles for the Amazon hv been lost—but this one can be won.For that,we need global engagement.

Institutions, governments, and the courts are bringing shame on Brazil by submitting to a colonialist gold mining project that could wipe out part of the Amazon

@MarciaW Our federal & provincial governments ignore our letters & phone calls. They pander to corporate lobbyists & are guilty of supporting environmental racism domestically & internationally.

They're trying to escape their prior #UNDRIP promises to do better.

Brazilian government halts waterway concessions after Indigenous protests

Brazil’s federal government reverses a decree after Indigenous protesters pressure it to drop plans tied to dredging the Tapajos River. On Monday, officials say they revoke a Lula decree that lets private operators take over waterway concessions. Indigenous groups say dredging threatens the river, their territories and the rainforest’s balance. The protests last 33 days at a Cargill facility in Santarem and spread to other cities. A judge orders the camp cleared on Wednesday, raising the risk of police action. Cargill says its site shuts down. Critics say the move also tests Lula’s ties with agribusiness.
