Dear Ray,
We are thrilled to present the second in our series of online
events to celebrate 15 years of protecting the Amazon and supporting
indigenous rights.
Next MONDAY,
OCTOBER 8th, on Indigenous Peoples Day you are invited to a
one-day online screening of the film Children
of the Jaguar, winner of "Best Documentary" at the 2012
National Geographic All Roads Film Festival. This is a groundbreaking
documentary about the Kichwa indigenous people of Sarayaku, Ecuador and their
successful international legal battle to prevent oil exploration on their
land without their consent. The film will be available to watch at causes.com/amazonwatchlive throughout the
day on October 8th.
Then join us a week later at Noon PDT on MONDAY, OCTOBER 15th
as leaders from Sarayaku will join us for the Amazon Watch Annual Fundraising
Luncheon. We will live stream this event and offer a chance to interact with
Amazon Watch staff and our special guests from Ecuador, Tupak Amaru Viteri
Gualinga, community Vice President, and celebrated Sarayaku leader, Marlon
Santi.
Oh, and in case you missed Grammy-nominated singer,
songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Debi Nova's performance at our first
online event last weekend, you can watch an encore presentation here.
Join the party and bring your friends to causes.com/amazonwatchlive.
For the Amazon,
Paul Paz y Miño Managing Director
P.S. If you can join us in person please RSVP today for the Annual Celebration.
