All over the world, tribal peoples are persecuted, marginalised, thrown off their land and denied their rights. But you can help to do something about this. Time and again, writing letters to those in power has proved to be one of the most effective tools for securing concrete change for tribal peoples. Survival letter-writing campaigns have helped tribal peoples win recognition of their land rights, put an end to logging or mining on their land, and halt government violence and oppression.
