Indigeneous People Standing For Mother Earth Being Shot Down

@TWNtalk @JaniceOCG @nickwestes @NatCounterPunch  Indigeneous people who organize on behalf of the planet are increasingly being eliminated.  They need our support.  See the article “Indigenous People of Brazil Fight for Their Future,” by Nick Estes at CounterPunch.org.

Standing up to power is deadly business, particularly when money’s involved…and usually, money is involved.  Let’s be aware, appreciative and supportive to those courageous souls who manage to do so – including indigeneous people of Brazil and elsewhere coming together to protect Mother Earth.

“Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has given new license to the killing of Indigenous people in Brazil. Before he came to power in 2019, it wasn’t clear what he wanted to build, but he knew exactly who and what he wanted to destroy: the Indigenous people and the Amazon rainforest, respectively.”
