With just $1,500 we were able to send an investigative team of worker rights lawyers to conduct interviews with the families of victims’, indigenous communities and survivors of the Brumadinho dam collapse in Brazil where over 270 people died. The testimonies gathered and findings from the investigation were instrumental in driving the litigation to hold multinational corporations that certified the dam as safe accountable. As a result, the Brazilian company agreed to pay compensation (moral damages) in the amount of $7bn to the families of the victims.
