"I am worried for my children. We know that we are running risks because we issue denunciations and fight for our territory and for the river... The situation has worsened. They are attacking and want to eliminate us."
– Alessandra Munduruku

Incredible as it may seem, it took less than one year for Brazil's repugnant President Bolsonaro to establish a fascist regime capable of dismantling the country's young democracy.

The signs are everywhere: from the regime's disregard of the Brazilian constitution, fomenting of crime and impunity, dismantling of key institutions upholding human rights and environmental protections, condoning of police violence, and propaganda-fueled ultra-nationalistic discourse. Brazil is suffering rollbacks that evoke the brutality of its twenty-year military dictatorship.

The impacts of this crisis are being felt across Brazilian society, while disproportionately impacting the country's minorities and social movements.

As the Amazon rainforest falls victim to this reckless regime, forest defenders – from indigenous peoples and traditional communities to local NGOs – are being targeted by an unprecedented wave of violence and intimidation.
