One year without Dom and Bruno

FAMILY AND FRIENDS of Dom Phillips invite you to join them in London to remember and honour their lives and work and discuss the quest for justice, tensions in the Brazilian Amazon, the critical, ongoing threats to Indigenous Peoples in the Javari Valley and how we can help to continue their work. London Freelance Branch member Dom Phillips was murdered in June 2022 while researching a book in the Brazilian Amazon, alongside Bruno Pereira, a former official with the country's Indian Affairs department.
