Tell General Motors to Respect Indigenous Rights

The Issue

General Motors, Chevron, and the coal power giant American Electric Power have invested millions of dollars in the carbon offset market, creating huge preservation areas in the Brazilian rainforest. In the process, they've trampled the rights of the Guarani Indians, who have inhabited and protected the land for generations. Tell General Motors to stop the harassment of indigenous people in Brazil and allow for sustainable hunting and logging by the area's original inhaitants.
