Join us at 12PM in millenium square for an urgent call to global action by indigenous leaders on Sunday 9th of August.
A day of rebellion to sound the alarm on the impact of Covid-19 in indigenous communities and to raise funds for APIB (Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil) to support those affected.
Indigenous people of the Americas are facing unprecedented threats: on top of attacks from government-sanctioned racism, land grabbing and big business, the Covid-19 mortality rate is higher among indigenous than non-indigenous people. Without the needed medical help, too many lives are being lost.
