Manifesto

Identifying and supporting the solutions that will enable a future of equal access, social justice and opportunity for every Brazilian

One good idea holds enormous power. When supported and nurtured, it can become the solution that transforms a community. BrazilFoundation is dedicated to identifying, nurturing and supporting the promising ideas of community leaders across Brazil. When woven together their local solutions will strengthen the fabric of the country.

Years ago, a few friends met in New York City to learn how they could come together constructively to contribute to a better Brazil. The untested idea was to unite a family of support behind the leaders with ideas that will transform Brazil. Though this seed now has deep roots the initial vision remains: identifying and supporting the solutions that will enable a future of equal access, social justice and opportunity for every Brazilian.

Understanding that the greatest rewards often come with a measure of risk, we temper our decisions with confidence in the capacity and extraordinary resilience of the women and men we support.

This work requires many hands, tireless persistence and aligned resources. It is based in a vision of a shared future and a shared effort.

Reforçamos o pedido de urgência na resposta ao d Reforçamos o pedido de urgência na resposta ao desaparecimento do indigenista Bruno Pereira e do jornalista britânico Dom Phillips há mais de uma semana na região do Vale do Javari, na Amazônia. 

Bruno é uma liderança socioambiental indigenista, especializado em povos isolados. Dom, que mora no Brasil há mais de 15 anos, é um veterano jornalista internacional - ambos denunciavam os ataques aos povos indígenas e à Amazônia brasileira. 

O Brasil está entre os países que, historicamente, mais ameaça defensores de direitos. O enfrentamento às violências ao meio ambiente e aos direitos das populações tradicionais merece nossa continuada atenção e ação. 

Acompanhe as informações oficiais do caso no site da UNIVAJA: univaja.info

We reinforce the request for urgent response to the disappearance of indigenist Bruno Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips for more than a week in the region of Vale do Javari, in the Amazon.

Bruno is an indigenist and environmental leader, expert in isolated Indigenous peoples. Dom, who has lived in Brazil for the last15 years, is a veteran international coverage journalist - both denunciate attacks on indigenous people in the Brazilian Amazon.

Brazil is among the countries that, historically, threatens the rights of activists and human rights defenders the most. Confronting violence against the environment and the rights of traditional populations deserves our continued attention and action.
