We call on President Lula to act now and revoke Decree 12,600/2025. #SalvemOsRios #SalveOTapajós #NãoAoDecreto12600

These projects depend on highly polluting dredging and move forward without free, prior, and informed consent violating Indigenous peoples’ right to say no to the destruction of their ancestral lands (ILO Convention 169).

This two-week occupation is an urgent demand for the government to listen to the Indigenous peoples of the Lower Tapajós basin, who are defending the Tapajós River and calling for the immediate revocation of Decree 12,600/2025.

🚨HAPPENING NOW! More than 800 Indigenous peoples are occupying the Cargill port in Santarém, Brazil. After a hearing with government representatives, they blocked the only road to the city’s airport demanding to be heard. 🧵👇

ANY Chevron assets in Ecuador by law are the property of the people of Ecuador who won a $9.5B judgment to pay for a clean up. They still suffer frm Chevron's contamination. Any funds going to Chevron would be a complete outrage in the largest oil related disaster in history. (3/3) chevrontoxico.com

The Arbitration’s proceedings even included a Chevron key witness who admitted he lied on behalf of Chevron for cash. Yet the panel refused to award Chevron the $3 billion it sought & reduced the award to $220M. Chevron's 16 billion gals. of waste STILL pollutes the Amazon (2/3)

BREAKING: notoriously corporate-friendly & undemocratic investor arbitration panel announced the people of Ecuador should pay gross polluter Chevron $220 million because they successfully sued for deliberately dumping billions of gallons of toxic oil waste in the Amazon. (1/3)
