Your Signature is Needed: Forests destroyed

CRACK! Splintering wood collapses to the forest floor! Animals scurry away in fear as giant metal machines roll in to tear down the trees. CRACK! Splintering wood collapses to the forest floor! Animals scurry away in fear as giant metal machines roll in to tear down the trees. Money-hungry corporations are forcing Indigenous people from their lands and razing forests to the ground. The production of many basic goods we use every day – from rubber, coffee, cattle, cocoa, palm oil, and more – involves human rights abuses and deforestation. That’s why the European Union recently adopted powerful new regulations to ensure the products it imports are produced without forest destruction. But in response, the U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce sent a letter OPPOSING these critical protections. [Please, Friend, urge the U.S. to support protections for human rights and forests abroad and at home! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( How would you feel if a big company decided to start cutting down trees in your community, Friend? You watch as the land around you is DEGRADED and DEFILED – and you receive NONE of the benefits. U.S. companies are more than capable of producing rubber, cocoa, coffee, and more without deforestation. Yet our federal government seems more worried about protecting the profits of greedy corporations than protecting forests and the lives of forest defenders – not to mention the global climate. That’s why we need your IMMEDIATE action, Friend!
