2. Honor the Indigenous Cultures
"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.
3. Mobilize in Support of APIB
APIB ~ The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil
is mobilizing for their own survival and for ALL Life on Earth.
We must all stand in support of our own survival.

The Choice is Ours Together ...
Humanity, this could easily be our FINEST Hour!
APIB, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, representing over 800,000 indigenous, continues to call out for urgent international action, attention and support to defeat the passage of the land-grabbing legislative bills, which would primarily benefit short-sighted commercial gain of foreign corporations and clear the way for a planetary tipping point of fatal deforestation.
4. Support the ABIP Report to ICC
Compiling Threats to the Indigenous Peoples
The Indigenous of Brazil Report Compiles Threats
in a Dossier to the International Criminal Court in The Hague

APIB, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil launches an International
Complaint Dossier at the Hague International Criminal Court holding the
current administration accountable for Genocide and Ecocide.
BRASÍLIA, August 16, 2021 –
The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) launched its International Complaints Dossier. The document brings together data and information that demonstrate that the Administration of Brazil has selected indigenous peoples as enemies. The document relates actions and omissions to the increase in cases of violence and conflict in indigenous territories.

6. Sign the Global Letter of Solidarity
Do you know what is happening in Brazil right now?
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.

7. What More Can You Do?
Ensuring the Brazilian Congress does what's right for the greatest good of all.
Insisting on a "NO VOTE" to retain all the current constitutional laws
concerning any indigenous land bills and then to strengthen
the existing indigenous territorial, cultural and social protections.
We must work together with the Indigenous Peoples, in support of their intention
to regenerate the rainforest and regain what's been lost.
You can contribute to their effort with any of these very simple actions.
