I’m writing to share some exciting news with you before it goes public.After all, it was you who made the improbable victory of President Obama possible.We’re getting ready to make a big announcement about where the Barack Obama Foundationis headed, and I don’t want you to miss it.Join the Obama Foundation today, and be the first to know.

This Foundation will not only celebrate the progress we’ve already made together but also continue to drive transformative change.

Right now, you and I have a unique opportunity to help lay the groundwork for the Foundation while the President is still in office. Let’s dream up big plans for the future of the movement we started together, and think about how we’ll inspire citizens everywhere to better their communities, their countries, and their world.

You should be part of it.

Resistance!

Facing Down Goliath Oil Companies

TheAchuar andU’wa indigenouspeoples have me in awe of the immense power of grassroots resistance in the face of multi-billion dollar corporations. Years after graduating from university, I find myself once again a student. Throughout my tenure at Amazon Watch, Ihave been honored to “informally apprentice” under our wise and humble indigenous partners.Today’s teachers are the Achuar people of the northern Peruvian Amazon and the U’wa people of the Colombian cloud forest. In recent weeks, both have informed the world of important advances in their decades-long struggles to defend their homelands.
