Do you know the super ecocide&unconstitutional Brazil’s #PL490?This bill would open up protected indigenous lands to commercial agriculture & mining,& is backed by super far-far-far-right President Jair Bolsonaro who advocates developing the Amazon region by…,well,killing us all

This bill PL 490 is harmful not just to Amazonia, but to humanity. It was rejected by the human rights commission in 2009. “This is an unacceptable setback for indigenous rights and a constitutional absurdity," said Brazil's only indigenous lawmaker Joenia Wapichana.

The campaign to stop passage of the bill comes at a time of increased attacks on indigenous communities by wildcat gold miners who have illegally invaded indigenous lands. It’s a war against life & the future and humanity.

Thousands of lives will be lost & Amazonia will turn into a desert. Critics say that the bill would accelerate (even more) the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, a vital resource in the race to curb #ClimateChange.

This is devastating news from every standpoint 😱😭💔

This happened yesterday outside Brazil's Congress. Indigenous protesters left the area enveloped in tear gas&rubber bullets. 2 indigenous ppls were hospitalized& a 12+sustained light injuries. The protest was peaceful & that police brutally repressed it.
