¡Hola a todos! El pasado martes y miércoles estuve en Brasilia tuve varias reuniones con diversos miembros del Parlamento de Brasil para entregar las más de 4,5 millones de firmas de esta petición, en la entrega nos confirmaron que se creará una comisión externa para evaluar políticas medioambientales.

Primero nos reunimos con senadores entre los que estaban el presidente del Comité Medioambiental, Fabiano Contarato, y también con Alessandro Vieira, Eliziane Gama y Leila Barros. Todos estaban dispuestos a defender nuestra petición en el Senado, los senadores hablaron de la importancia de nuestra petición durante el plenario. 

Después tuvimos una reunión con la anterior Ministra de Medio Ambiente de Brasil, Marina Silva, en la sede del partido Red de Sostenibilidad. Marina nos agradeció la iniciativa y hablamos de la importancia de este tipo de movilizaciones. 

Por último, al final del día, tuvimos un encuentro con excelentes noticias: el presidente de la Cámara de los Diputados, Rodrigo Maia, también recibió las firmas y acordó la creación de una Comisión Externa para evaluar y analizar las políticas públicas referentes al medio ambiente. 

De acuerdo con la ley firmada por Maia, la Comisión Externa estará compuesta por 13 diputados que acompañarán el trabajo de diferentes ministerios como Medio Ambiente, Economía o Agricultura para abordar el desmantelamiento de las políticas socioambientales que se han llevado a cabo en Brasil. Así podremos aclarar a la sociedad no solo los efectos ambientales sino también los efectos económicos que tiene la destrucción de la Amazonía y sobre el impacto que están teniendo los incendios sobre Brasil y el pueblo brasileño. 

Esto ha sido una importante victoria no solo para nosotros – las personas que nos hemos movilizado y firmando las peticiones contra los incendios-, sino también para el grupo de parlamentarios que también se estaban movilizando en la Cámara de los Diputados para conseguir la creación de esta comisión exterior. ¡Este logro va mucho más allá de lo que estábamos pidiendo en un primer momento!

Vamos a mantener abierta la petición hasta que comience el trabajo de la Comisión. Muchas gracias a todas aquellas personas que se han movilizado junto con nosotros. Vamos a continuar juntos luchando por la defensa de la Amazonía. 

Les quiero contar que hoy llegué a Nueva York, Estados Unidos, para asistir a la Semana del Clima del 20 al 27 de septiembre se llevará a cabo la huelga mundial contra el cambio climático, una semana centrada en las discusiones ambientales, que tiene lugar simultáneamente con la Cumbre del Clima de la ONU.

La próxima semana les contaré más sobre los eventos a los que asistiré aquí. Mientras tanto, invito a todos a tomar las calles para participar en el #ClimateStrike, que está sucediendo hoy en todo el mundo. ¡Sigamos usando nuestras voces para proteger nuestro hogar, el planeta Tierra!

¡Gracias!

Olá pessoal! Escrevo para deixar este vídeo com um recado meu a todos vocês que assinaram e estão apoiando esta causa tão importante. No vídeo conto um pouco sobre nossas conquistas até agora dentro do Congresso e quais são os próximos passos para a campanha.

Hoje cheguei em Nova York, nos Estados Unidos, para participar da Climate Week, uma semana voltada a discussões sobre meio ambiente, que ocorre simultaneamente à Cúpula do Clima da ONU. 

Na próxima semana contarei mais novidades sobre os eventos que participarei por aqui. Enquanto isso, convido a todos para irem nas ruas participar da #GreveGlobalpeloClima, que acontece hoje no mundo inteiro. Vamos continuar usando nossas vozes para proteger nossa casa, o planeta Terra!

Obrigado mais uma vez,

Gabriel

Liebe Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer,

auch die Bundesregierung räumt endlich ein, dass der Mercosur-Vertrag keine Maßnahmen etwa gegen Brandrodungen oder Verletzung des Pariser Klimaabkommens vorsieht. Jetzt soll die EU mögliche Strafen doch prüfen. Das ist die Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Frage der Linksfraktion.

Sieben Länder wollen versuchen, die Regenwälder besser zu schützen. Brasilien und auch Frankreich, das mit seinem Überseegebiet Französisch-Guyana über große Flächen in der Amazonas-Region verfügt, machen nicht mit.

Mit herzlichen Grüßen

Right now there is neither present nor future for the planet, but if we do something we can change the course of events.

In questo momento non c’è né presente né futuro per il pianeta, ma se facciamo qualcosa possiamo cambiare il corso degli eventi.

I wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you for supporting our petition, things are developing powerfully over here and I’ll be making weekly updates in order to keep you all posted and hopefully engaged! 

The fires in the Amazon are picking up pace and of course the media is cooling off. 

The Good News:

The great folks at Change.org have decided to back our petition!

What does that mean?

That means they are dedicating time, resources, experience and their network to help us reach our goals. They are doing this by helping us strategize our campaign efforts, grow signatures of our petition, tap into major press outlets and get the United Nations to come to the table to give us answers – but most importantly take action! 

Our Next Target:

The United Nations is holding its Climate Action Summit ( https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/ ) this September the 23rd in New York. 

Climate “Action” is in their headline and we want to see what action is really taking place! 

What is the United Nations willing to step in and do? Unfortunately, we still a haven’t seen any action on the ground in the Amazon. 

Here Is What’s Going On:

• Brazilian President Bolsanaro will not be attending the Summit, due to a stab wound that must be treated. Hmmmm……

• Bolsanaro has issued a ban on fire burning, however, fires are still being started and that ban will end in October. This is an opportunity for us to call the United Nations to put pressure on Bolsanaro, to extend that ban. This is a relatively easy thing to do, but most importantly to enforce it. Something his regime has turned a blind eye to. 

• There is a global climate strike taking place on Friday, September 20th-27th and this is a major opportunity for us to create global momentum together.  

Go here to learn more: https://globalclimatestrike.net

Strike where you are! Do what you can and remember of course that if we want to see conscious solutions, we ourselves have to be moving from a conscious state. 

Meaning is the best thing you can do, is better yourself and spread that to those around you. 

Here’s What Else You Can Do Now:

We need to keep up momentum, us coming together on a global level can create a powerful butterfly affect of change, we simply can’t cool off!

#1: Please share this petition AGAIN on all your social channels, email, twitter, Instagram, FaceBook and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same. 

Petition signatures send emails to decision makes we are targeting and adding to the petition weekly. More signatures creates more buzz, which helps us get press channels to pick up our story. 

More press creates more pressure, more pressure leads to more action, more action leads to a better life for us all. 

#2: Do you have contacts at the UN? 

Who can you help us get in touch with and add to the petition from the UN? Feel free to email me at info@thedisruptive.com

#3: Do you have connections to press outlets, influencers, celebs who would get behind our efforts? 

Let us never under estimate the power of positive influence in media. Social media has democratized influence to all of us and it’s one of the most powerful tools we have.

If you have people with influence that would get behind this, let us know at info@thedisruptive.com 

We at The Disruptive (www.thedisruptive.com will be mobilizing our networks of over 100,000 social media influencers to orchestrate a large scale social campaign for our movement. 

Stay tuned!

To the United Nations:

What is coming out of climate week?

What actions are going to be taken? 

When are we going to get a response?

Are you going to follow through? We are all watching!

With love in our quest for unity, consciousness and the wellbeing for all.

P.S. If you want to continue the convo with me personally, please feel free to DM me or leave me a comment on Instagram @mendeluk www.instagram.com/mendeluk That’s where I’m spending more of my time! 

Hello everyone! Last week I was in Brasilia in a series of meetings with parliamentarians to deliver the 4.5 million signatures of this petition.

We first met with some senators, among them the chairman of the Environment Committee, Fabiano Contarato, as well as Alessandro Vieira, Eliziane Gama and Leila Barros. Everyone was very willing to defend our case within the Senate, and Senators Alessandro Vieira and Randolfe Rodrigues even spoke about the importance of the petition in plenary.

Then we had a meeting with former Minister of Environment Marina Silva at the head office of the party Rede Sustentabilidade. Marina praised our initiative and also talked about the importance of this type of mobilization.

Finally, at the end of the day, a meeting with excellent news: the president of Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia, also received the signatures and then created an External Commission to evaluate and monitor environmental public policies!

According to the act signed by Maia, the External Commission will be composed of 13 deputies (among them, Joênia Wapichana, Daniel Coelho, Tabata Amaral, Pedro Cunha Lima and Felipe Rigoni) and will accompany the work of several ministries (such as Environment, Economics and Agriculture) to address the dismantling of socio-environmental policies that has been taking place in Brazil. Thus can be clarified to society not only the environmental, but also economic effects that this destruction of the Amazon and these burning cause to the image of Brazil and the Brazilian people.

It was an important victory not only for us, the people who mobilized and collected signatures in favor of the CPI of the burnings, but also for the group of parliamentarians who were already mobilizing in the Chamber of Deputies for an External Commission along the lines of the one created. And that goes beyond what we were asking for!

So we will continue with this petition until the work of the Commission begins to be put into practice – so that we can charge for it to be done. In addition, we would like Senate President David Alcolumbre to respond the requests from senators who have mobilized for a Burning CPI. The two committees working together can be even stronger.

Thank you very much to all of you who mobilized. We continue together in defense of the Amazon!

Gabriel
