Patricia has traveled from her home in the heart of the Amazon to represent her people and bring the message of indigenous communities throughout the rainforest to policy-makers in New York City. The Cause to get Patricia and other allies to the People’s Climate March is halfway to its goal. Please help us reach that goal today!

At this moment hundreds of thousands of people are at the People’s Climate March in New York. We have joined them because it is time to change course and build a future we can all live and thrive in. We are there because our future is in peril and the changing climate is a key indicator.

With your support, Amazon Watch has led a delegation of grassroots and indigenous leaders from the heart of the Amazon. Their message affects us all: KEEP THE OIL IN THE GROUND starting with the Amazon! Humanity’s survival depends on not burning two-thirds our global oil reserves. Our climate cannot afford to burn more fossil fuels. We should end our fossil fuel addiction starting with keeping the oil in the ground in the Amazon basin.

Today is just the beginning. Delegates will attend meetings with policy-makers all week long to ensure that indigenous and grassroots voices from the Amazon are heard in New York and beyond. This is only possible because of the support of thousands of people like you from around the world who have donated to the Cause. Please join them and give today.

For the Amazon and all life,
