Dear Friend,

Dear Friends,
At this time, the social movements in the field in the state of Pará are facing another round of massive evictions because of an alliance between the state governor, the Judiciary of Pará and the large estate owners who are trying to destabilize the encampments and the settlements and thus prevent land reform from being carried out.
If you cannot join us at these locations, please send letters to the Brazilian Embassy in DC to express your concern. A sample letter can be found here in English and Portuguese.
New York, NY – On April 22, demonstrations at Brazilian consulates around the country, spearheaded by a march from American University in Washington DC, will underscore human rights abuses and rampant environmental destruction in Brazil's countryside while highlighting the need for true land reform.
