Chico Vive The Legacy of Chico Mendes and the Global Grassroots Environmental Movement

Chico Mendes was a Brazilian rubber tapper

In the 1980s he warned the world about the fate of the Amazon rainforest

He was killed in 1988

25 years later his friends wanted to commemorate his life and work

We also want to promote the worldwide movement that follows his example

It includes indigenous people …

City people …

Rural people …

All are grassroots environmentalists

The Chico Vive conference will bring them together in one place at one time

April 4-6, 2014 American University School of International Service Washington, D.C.

Grassroots activists will meet their allies

And make plans for future collaboration and action

A mini film festival will inform and inspire conference participants

We need your support

Help us make the Chico Vive conference happen!
