The Brazilian Congress has just passed a catastrophic forestry bill that gives loggers and farmers free rein to cut down huge swaths of the Amazon. Now
only President Dilma can stop it. Fortunately, the timing is on our side -- in weeks Dilma will host the world's biggest environmental summit and insiders say
she cannot afford to open it as the leader who approved the destruction of the rainforest. She's facing mounting domestic pressure, with 79% of Brazilians rejecting this new bill. Now, if we join them we can turn up the global heat and push her to axe the bill, not the rainforest.
Dilma could make her decision any day. Let's get her to veto the bill now.
Use the form on the right to sign the urgent petition to stop the Amazon chainsaw massacre and if you have already signed --
send this to everyone.
