Sobre a Organização
Created in 2018 during the fight against the community’s illegal expropriation, the Caranguejo Tabaiares Resiste Collective has achieved the revocation of the expropriation decree in 2019. It acts in defense of the land, the environment, and in the anti-racist struggle, promoting actions such as the creation of community gardens, political education, and tackling drug trafficking. Led by Black women, the collective seeks to revitalize ancestral knowledge and strengthen the community’s Black identity.
