This paper analyzes the International articulation of those Affected by Vale from the mobilization of workers affected in communities and cities where the Vale Corporation operates in its destructive form in social, cultural and environmental impacts. Arising from the exchange with various organizations, social movements and environmentalists begins a process of building an international network to exchange experiences aiming accumulation and discussion of joint actions of offensive and resistance to the action of Vale in several countries. These articulations intend to to affirm that the bands of the offensive and the local resistance have an imperative: its construction on a continental scale,in internationalized perspective, since this is the circuit and operational scale of capital. Thus, under the approach of this study, the article highlights the struggle of People Affected by Vale can´t historically be understood only in the context of the strict struggle against a company and its performance. An understanding overflows in synthesis effort, toward a struggle beyond the Valley. It is the struggle against capital and its destructive form.
