NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL!

Celebrating the news that the majority of Brazil's Supreme Court judges voted NO on Marco Temporal! 

Hallelujah!

 ... But, there's still more work to do.  

Members of Brazil's congress have now declared they will work to change Brazil's constitution to justify the heinous principle of "Marco Temporal".

We hope you enjoy and are encouraged by the song.
  And we really hope you will

 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CALL
           FOR ALL INVOLVED TO VOTE   "NO TO MARCO TEMPORAL!" 

+ Download the song, play it back from another device, and film yourself singing along.  Post a video of yourself on social media with the # marcotemporalnão.

Here are the lyrics:

DIGA NÃO À VIOLAÇÃO
O QUE É DELA DEIXE-AO CHÃO
DO JEITO QUE ELA JÁ MERECEU
AO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL


For now there's been a "No" vote on this latest heinous attack on Indigenous Rights, and all humanity's planetary survival.
But factions within Brazil's government still are pushing to force "Marco Temporal" through. 

As a person who has deep gratitude and admiration for the land and people of Brazil, and who has benefited deeply from the inspiration and education of the music born from that land, I couldn't sit and watch this vote come-up without adding my voice to the chorus of communities tirelessly advocating to stop this (continued) violation of the land, and Indigenous people & territories of Brazil.

 One late night in Rio De Janeiro, a group of passionate musicians gathered in the studio to pool our talents and energies, and encourage all parties involved to say "NO" to Marco Temporal. 

We created this song with the hope its energy and message would contribute to the advocacy efforts pressuring the Brazilian courts and congress to reject Marco Temporal. 

 We acknowledge we are not on the deadly front lines of this battle. We stand in solidarity, and send prayers for protection and success to all those who are.
 
We hope and pray that this music -and your participation in it!- sends support, added visibility and energy to efforts of Indigenous communities throughout Brazil, and to the sacred and endangered being which is the Amazons herself.

Não Ao Marco Temporal

Nao Ao Marco Temporal

A pack of wild Eurasian wolf howls after sunset in mountain forest of Vercors.
One male starts howling, quickly joined by the others in what might most probably be a rallying cry.

We can hear, behind the stridulating insects (Upland Green Bush-cricket), European edible dormouse squeaking and throwing things from the top of the trees.

Vercors, France, Late summer.

Eurasian Wolf, Wild pack howling in the mountains - Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Sie haben mich gut mal getraut. Er hat mich immer mal getraut und mich so ein bisschen Fressen hinschmeißen und dann mit an die Fähre gehen und Kasten von den Fähren heimschleppen. Aber in den letzten Tagen war es sehr unterschiedlich, welche Schäger, die sich in der Hälfte von uns haben, und mich mal getraut haben und mich hier aus dem Haus gehalten haben. Wie die alten stingigen Nenner, die alten stingigen Tiers und alten stingigen Vieh, wie die hat hermoneiert, immer mit Lali und Alini und Pata in Sakala mitgenommen bis drüber und in die Ruhe von der Gasperi und hat angestrebt und die Schläber in die Schläberchen oder mit den Schläbern in die Polsacken genommen. Wenn ich immer so hermoneiert habe, dann hört man ja keinen Sohn, der immer sagt, Nenner traue ich Schuhe und Medikos. Das war der alte stingige Aldo. Sicher, die hat es in Aldo geklatscht hier. Aldo hat sich extra Zeit gekostet, um Minda zu besuchen, als sie eine Zerrurgie in ihrem Herz gemacht hat. Und extra besser bamblich alle Zappen an den Rucksack angetan. Dann hat der Alte gefragt, woher du jetzt bist, wenn du hier bist. Ich weiß, dass die Diener von den Anderen das machen. Wenn ich so einen Dienst gemacht habe, und das von der Alp Stingy Marquinhos, das hat die Binta selber, die Sie gesagt. Mein erster war in Brasilien. Und da galt die, das hier galt. Da habe ich viele Salarien gekriegt, die ich mit dem Alp Gaston bezahlt habe. Und das kriegten die, die kriegten. Ich habe die Woche geheiratet. Wo sind die Salarien? Und ich dachte. Und ich kann ja nicht, weil ich nicht gut bin. Und dann haben sie die Augen auf, wenn ich fahre mit dem Taxi und heimkomme. Die können auch noch früh nachgucken gehen und Kameras und so. Ich war nur in der Pharmase, in der Schule und im Markt. Da war fast 50 Grad Temperatur, die ich heimkomme.
