Subject: Stop the attack on indigenous peoples
Your Excellency,
Your government is putting indigenous peoples’ lives and lands in extreme danger.
I am outraged by the proposed bills and constitutional amendments, including PEC 215, which could block the protection of indigenous territories, and escalate violent land conflicts which are already killing Indians nationwide.
And I am extremely concerned that you are holding back funding for the government teams protecting uncontacted tribes’ land from invasions. Their presence is often the only barrier to the genocide of indigenous people.
I urge you to ensure immediately that your government upholds Brazilian and international law and protects the lands of indigenous peoples nationwide.
Sincerely,
|
