paulo from brazil on struggle



My name is Paulo. I’m in the leadership of the Coira Velho community, and a coordinator of the Chief Commission. We are articulated to get back our lands since the February 19th Assembly when it was decided by unanimity that we were going to fight for our 11 thousand hectares of our land. So we are preparing with other governmental entities, civil entities, for us to start the struggle. And we are not going to slow down because we know that the land is our right, the land is our mother. And without the land we will not survive. Neither us or our generation. That’s why we decided to fight for our right. We are counting on the governmental support at the national level, and at the international. The power is helping us, is reinforcing our struggle. We will thank for everybody’s support.
