For more than three weeks, over 800 Indigenous peoples from the Tapajós River region have blockaded the grain terminal of U.S. agribusiness giant Cargill, demanding that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva revoke Decree 12,600, which privatizes key Amazonian rivers. This decree threatens the Tapajós, Madeira, and Tocantins while fast-tracking destructive agribusiness expansion without Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation.
Stand with Indigenous communities by amplifying this call on social media and urging President Lula to overturn Decree 12,600 and protect the Amazon’s rivers now.
[email protected] inspired hope for the Amazon. Now is the moment to honor that promise by standing with Indigenous peoples and revoking Decree 12,600, which threatens Amazon rivers for agribusiness profit. Defend the Tapajós. Protect life. #nãoaodecreto12600
