Global Climate Strike September 25

On September 25th 2020, thousands of climate strikes will take place across the globe to demand urgent action to tackle the climate crisis. Join the strike!

This year, world leaders and big polluters hope we’ll stay silent. They want us to go back to business as usual. But our youth’s non-stop actions show otherwise, reminding the world once again that we will not be prisoners of injustice. We stand together to say – our future is going to be bright because we won’t let things go back to business as usual.

COVID-19 may have paused the world in its tracks, but the climate crisis continues unless fossil fuels are kept in the ground. Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon surpassed 10,000 square kilometers in 2019, the highest recorded figure since 2008, according to the latest data from Brazil’s national space research institute.

Companies in JBS’s supply chain are potentially responsible for the destruction of about 300 square kilometers of forest each year for exported beef. JBS’ inability to control its Brazilian beef supply chains is responsible for deforestation in the Amazon and the loss of lands belonging to indigenous people. We are holding JBS accountable.

Online, or on the streets, your participation in the global climate strikes is crucial. Learn from Fridays for Future about how you can get involved. On 25th September, demonstrations and manifestations will take place all across the globe, all adjusted to COVID-19 circumstances.

Netzdemo Portal continues the online demonstration in support of #AmazonCeaseFire against JBS meat industries on September 25th, 2020.

Online Protest against JBS Meat Industry

JBS is the world’s biggest meat packing company and single biggest supplier of beef, chicken and leather globally, with 350,000 customers in more than 150 countries. JBS has been repeatedly linked to suppliers found to be engaging in illegal deforestation in the region and operating illegally on protected Indigenous lands.

In July 2020, Amnesty International, with Réporter Brasil, revealed that cattle illegally grazed in protected areas of the Amazon state of Rondonia had entered the JBS supply chain. Fires and deforestation continue to take place on properties in JBS’ supply chain despite the company’s policies and international commitments.

JBS’ inability to control its Brazilian beef supply chains is responsible for deforestation in the Amazon and the loss of lands belonging to indigenous people. We will hold JBS accountable.

Netzdemo Portal will launch an online protest in support of #AmazonCeaseFire against JBS meat industries on September 18th, 2020, starting at 08:00 CEST
