CEO- Mauro Martins de Oliveira
Mauro had been caravaning supply lines of humanitarian aid from Los Angeles to Native American lands in Arizona for three years before finding the time to apply for the non-profit in 1997. As soon as that documentation came thru, a barrage of humanitarian relief projects was directed under his wing. We have been shaking the tree ever since. Mauro’s background is in the multi-media arts, including audio, video, and print production and as an artist, his humanitarian work has been recognized by the United Nations and the Clinton White House. Oliveira produced 140 shows for Small World Radio and published First Issues magazine in northern California. His contribution to STOP TANC helped to halt a 1.4 billion dollar eminent domain power line project threatening 25 thousand families in California.
