An alternative news source in Brazil, building bridges to social movements working for a better world

BRAZIL JUSTICE  NET  (known also in Portuguese as SEJUP--Servico Brasileiro de Justica e Paz) specializes in preparing news and reports in English about Brazilian human rights and social issues.  Among the issues we cover are agrarian reform, indigenous issues, environment, the churches, women's issues, violence, racism, children, grassroots movements.  We hope to serve as a bridge between Brazilian grassroots organizations who use Portuguese as a working language and groups and individuals in other parts of the world interested in the news, concerns and views of such Brazilian organizations.
