This Earth Day is perhaps the most important in human history. If we hope to avert the worst of the climate crisis, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we must act now to take direction from Indigenous communities and reduce emissions. With the Amazon at a tipping point, we must permanently protect the rainforest and make this moment a turning point for the future of our planet.

In honor of Earth Day and in the hope of a livable future with climate justice for all, we have compiled a list of ways you can take action, raise funds for the Amazon from your community, and empower Indigenous-led efforts to defend the rainforest and our climate.

  • You vote. They donate: We have the chance to raise up to $100,000 from CREDO Mobile this month to support our work defending the Amazon in solidarity with Indigenous peoples! Vote for us today to ensure that CREDO Mobile’s generous support protects the rainforest and our global climate!
  • Facebook Fundraisers: Share your commitment to protecting the rainforest in solidarity with Indigenous peoples by starting a Facebook Fundraiser. Facebook Fundraisers are easy to create, and you can watch your community’s generosity and awareness grow.
  • Instagram donations: We’ve created a donate button to make supporting Amazon Watch easy on Instagram! Check out this how-to reel and share your support of protecting the rainforest and amplifying Indigenous voices and solutions.
  • Take action for the Earth and Indigenous peoples: Our work is a collective movement for a livable future with Indigenous rights, knowledge, and self-determination at the center. Take action online to amplify Indigenous peoples’ voices and movements!
  • Every.org fundraisers: You can create an Amazon Watch fundraiser to have your community give and get matched – here’s how!
  • Claim a match from your employer: Your employer may have a matching gift policy for charitable contributions. See if they’ll match your donations to Amazon Watch! We send automatic email receipts for all online donations, which you can use to claim a match from your employer. Let us know if you need us to resend confirmation of a donation.

Looking for other ways to maximize the impact of your support for Amazon Watch? There is no shortage of opportunities to stay tuned into critical actions for the Amazon and use your voice to amplify Indigenous rights, resistance, and solutions.

  • Follow us on social: Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay up-to-date on campaigns to hold major drivers of Amazon destruction accountable and uplift Indigenous solutions to protect land, water, and life.
  • Purchase Amazon Watch t-shirts and gear: Visit our online store today to support Amazon Watch in style! Proceeds from each item directly support our work to protect the Amazon in solidarity with our Indigenous partners.
  • Become a business supporter: Amazon Watch’s business supporters find many creative ways to contribute to our work, and our staff is here to help more businesses do the same. Be in touch to learn more!

Thank you so much for being part of this global, Indigenous-led movement to protect the Amazon. Together, let’s act in hope for the future of the rainforest and our planet, amplifying Indigenous solutions and rights every step of the way.

From all of us at Amazon Watch, happy Earth Day!
