On the sands of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Greenpeace Brazil activists created a giant, 150-meter-long slogan that read: "Independence from Fossil Fuels," an allusion to September 7th, the date Brazil celebrates its independence. The peaceful demonstration also aimed to draw attention to the dangerous advance of oil exploration in the Amazon River Basin.

"The true independence we should seek and celebrate today, September 7th, is the one that frees us from fossil fuels. However, this cry for freedom remains stuck in our throats, as we still lack the prospect of an energy transition plan that is fair and worthy of the climate leadership Brazil seeks to exercise," warns Mariana Andrade, Greenpeace Brazil's Oceans spokesperson.

Greenpeace Mexico enthusiastically and joyfully joins the March for Climate, Life, and the Future, a call to defend life in all its forms, but also from a sense of urgency and the need to act in its favor: to raise our voices and demand an end to its destruction.
We recognize that this struggle must be intersectional, transnational, diverse, and justice-oriented. We are part of a broader movement, often led by indigenous peoples and communities, as well as by people living in conditions of vulnerability and marginalization. We understand the interdependencies between stopping climate change, halting biodiversity loss, and ending the injustices of capitalism, colonialism, and war.
Our commitment is to life. Climate change is, above all, a social justice issue. From our organization, we will continue to promote the fight for climate and energy justice and the defense of our only home. It is time to resist.
