In more news from the U.N. climate summit in Belém, Brazil, dozens of Indigenous leaders, many carrying signs that read “Our land is not for sale,” broke through security to enter the venue where thousands of delegates from over 190 countries are attending climate talks. Indigenous leaders are demanding stronger climate action and protections for the Amazon, other sacred rainforests and Indigenous territories from fossil fuels. This is a leader of the Tupinambá people.

Cacique Gilson: “They are the government. This protest is a way of defending the space where it’s being held at this moment. But for us, it’s a moment of revolt, of indignation. It’s a moment when we Indigenous people feel the defeat of our territory firsthand. We don’t eat money. We want our territory free. But the business of oil exploration, mineral exploration and logging continues.”

Democracy Now! will be broadcasting from COP30 in Belém all of next week.
