THE WORLD IS WATCHING
The Brazilian Congress is voting to change their constitution, immediately erasing all protections from the territories of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, the peoples who hold vital keys for how to effectively serve as true Guardians of Nature, opening the Heart of Earth's Water Cycle to commercial development and pillage at an unprecedented rate, resulting in catastrophic ecocide, genocide & pushing the ecological tipping point.
Help spread the awareness of this,
our collective moment of choice.
* This is a Matter of Life or Death *

"We, Indigenous Women, are also the Earth, because the Earth is made in us. Through the strength of the song, we connect in all corners, where charms that are our ancestors are present. The Earth is sister, daughter, aunt, mother, grandmother, uterus, food, healing for the world."
The Indigenous Peoples are the Earth's Guardians. They've been effective caretakers protecting the forests for eons, and they hold the wisdom to not only retain what remains of our Earth's most vital ecosystems but also understand how to revitalize what's been lost to 100 years of extraction.ANMIGA, the National Articulation of Women Warriors of Ancestry, is advancing the initiative "Reflorestarmentes" to reforest minds and collect the wisdom we've inherited from our ancestors. These Guardian women are taking to the streets to build networks welcoming and strengthening a community of diverse ecosystems engaging in the struggle of a good life for traditional peoples.
They propose a national and international agenda, based on a viable ecological transition upholding the land rights of traditional communities and peoples, and restoring indigenous territories as a transformative policy presenting alternatives to confront the potential of rampant climate collapse.
We remain connected to our roots only because we always are, and because our ancestors were.

As global citizens, we understand we're all human beings who inhabit the same planet, despite the national borders separating us, which have been enhanced and entrenched by inhumane and predatory historic processes such as colonialism. As well, knowing the consequences of our destruction of the planet in pursuit of the privilege, greed and short-term gain of a few - whatever they may be - will affect each of us and all future generations far.
