Para marcar a data, a Associação Interamericana para a Defesa do Ambiente (Aida), o Conselho Indigenista Missionário (Cimi), a Coordenação das Organizações Indígenas da Amazônia Brasileira (Coiab) e outras entidades divulgaram carta aberta em defesa das comunidades indígenas, ribeirinhas e pescadoras artesanais de todo o médio curso do Rio Xingu. O documento destacou o agravamento das violações contra esses povos, ao longo dos anos, por causa das mudanças climáticas. Sob administração da empresa concessionária Norte Energia, maior acionista do empreendimento, desde 2010, a usina no Rio Xingu atende a uma média de 5% da demanda por energia elétrica do país ao ano, em todos os estados. Segundo a Norte Energia, mais de R$ 8 bilhões foram investidos nos compromissos socioambientais assumidos no licenciamento.
