This referendum is a nail biter. Every poll puts the two sides neck in neck, with Too Close to Call predicting that if the ballots were counted on November 24, the NO side would win by just 2%. But the important news is: The ballots from ridings where people are most likely to vote YES are arriving and we're gaining momentum!!
We CAN win this! But we only have 7 days left to do it.
Here's how you are making the difference:
The Phone Bank - friendly calling
We can't stress strongly enough how the volunteers making these calls are the most powerful tool we have to win this referendum.

This Giving Tuesday, will you stand with the Amazon’s tribes?
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. In the Amazon, it’s a time of dread, since Jair Bolsonaro won Brazil’s presidential election last month. After all, he’s the man who:
- said it’s a shame Brazil’s tribes weren’t wiped out years ago.
- vowed to open up their territories to loggers and miners.
- declared they won’t get "one millimeter" more land protected, even though many are landless.
Will you help us as we – alongside indigenous peoples across Brazil – prepare for the fight of our lives? We accept no government funding or dodgy corporate money, so your help is vital to ensure we can:
- investigate and expose loggers, miners and ranchers who invade tribal lands.
- bring global media attention to atrocities against Brazil’s indigenous peoples
- lead well-planned activist campaigns to stop those emboldened by Bolsonaro’s racism in their tracks.

A recently-published IPCC report caused ripples with its prediction that by the end of this century, as soon as 22 years, our world will begin to see the irreparable and life-altering effects of a warming earth. The report indicated that a possible recourse is available: radical, fast-moving change, starting now.
While others tread water, our community swims against the current of inaction. More than 100 Living Building projects now stand tall, representing the work of visionary teams dedicated to regenerating life and leaving a positive impact on our earth. The rest of us have work to do. Below are a few ways that you can help our changing climate and inspire action from your community at varying levels of action:

Hi everyone,
I wish I was writing under happier circumstances. You might have already seen that Jair Bolsonaro was victorious in Brazil's recent presidential election. His racist views represent the gravest threat to Brazil’s tribal peoples in decades.
