Amazon Watch 2017 Gala Sponsorship

AMAZON WATCH 2017 GALA SPONSORSHIP

Amplify! A celebration of voices from the Amazon.

AMAZON WATCH Amazon Watch is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 to protect the rainforest and advance the rights of indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin. We partner with indigenous and environmental organizations in campaigns for human rights, corporate accountability and the preservation of the Amazon's ecological systems. EVENT OVERVIEW On September 27th, 2017 Amazon Watch will hold its annual gala “Amplify! A celebration of voices from the Amazon.” in San Francisco at the Bently Reserve. Approximately 300 supporters and change makers will enjoy a delicious organic dinner and variety of local and exotic beverages, inspiring stories from the Amazon, a rousing auction, and live entertainment. Representatives from the U’wa of Colombia - leaders in the movement to stop oil extraction and defend indigenous rights - will give a keynote speech, and Do Good Events will transform the Bently into a tropical wonderland for the evening. SPECIAL GUESTS The U’wa are a peaceful culture of more than 6,200 people who live in the remote Andes of northeastern Colombia, along the border with Venezuela. Long before the international climate movement adopted the battle cry to "Keep It In The Ground," the U'wa people of Colombia were denouncing the extraction of the Blood of Mother Earth.

In the 1990's, they successfully fought to stop oil drilling by LA- based Occidental Petroleum. An international solidarity movement emerged, ultimately helping the U'wa expel Oxy in 2002. The government authorization to search for oil and gas was passed to Colombian state-run company EcoPetrol, which to this day continues to threaten the U'wa with new extractive activities in their territory. A new gas exploration project sparked protests in 2014, and the U'wa were successful in getting a drilling platform Berito Kuwaru’wa, U’wa leader decommissioned. 1998 Goldman Environmental Prize Winner AMAZON WATCH 2017 GALA: Amplify!
