<<I have sent this before. I wanted to update everyone with a
list of those we have had sign onto our group letter. Please,
if you are a member of ANY organization that has anything to do
with evironmental, human rights, or native peoples issues,
please urge your directors to sign on. We simply need your
organizations to say; 'this is wrong, these people deserve
their lands, rights, and dignity. We have moved the date that
we will deliver this to the Brazilian embasy back to August 10.
One nice note: we have a talk show in Australia doing a
segment on the Guarani. Also, we have expanded our food drive
to other Guarani communities. We now have about 60 families in
desperate need of food. We have unconfirmed reports that some
children in the community of Jaguari, another community having
simular problems to Jaguapire, have died from starvation. If
you or anyone you know would like to help please contact us.
Thank you for everything, Shane Caraveo smc@pipeline.com >>
Dear Friends,
The Guarani-Kaiowa urgently need our help. As you may know,
ranchers are once again trying to expel the Guarani from their
traditional lands. After being expelled three times, tired of
being humiliated, cold and hungry, the entire community of
Jaguapire, 140 Guarani-Kaiowa, along with 22 leaders from
surrounding Guarani communities, have decided they would rather
die by suicide than be expelled from their lands once again.
They are prepared to fight to the end to remain on their lands.
In the past five years over 300 Guarani have committed suicide
rather than be expelled from their rightful lands. The time is
now for a comprehensive international campaign to put pressure
on the judges responsible for these cases....
...
The following Organizations have allready signed on. We urge
any other organizations to PLEASE HURRY and sign on. We would
like to have as many as possible by the 9th of August, also let
us know your membership. We will be presenting this letter to
the Brazilian consulate on the morning of the 10th. We could
really use some groups from outside the USA.
