This paper aims to identify if the non-governmental organizations Organ Federation for Social and Educational Assistance and Pará Society of Human Rights Defense, characterized by political resistance in the 1970s, changed their strategies and actions with the face of the new configurations of capital, particularly the neoliberal logic implemented in Brazil in the 1990s. The specific objectives aims to characterize the historical road of these NGOs, rebuilding their position in a relation to different contexts of state expression and economic, political and social scenarios in Brazil during the period investigated; and to examine in what extent the answers and policy positions taken by these NGOs in different historical contexts contributed to the democratization of Brazilian local society. The methodological approach considered the qualitative methodology as the main basis of analyses, in addition documental and literature research, field research, and application of semi-structured interviews with the coaches, former coaches, managers and former managers of two entities surveyed. The results of research indicate that there were changes in the strategies and actions of NGOs studied, caused by the entry of Brazil in the circuit of capital reproduction, guided by the globalization of economy and neoliberal policies. However, despite the intensity of these processes, these changes coexists with a social and political practice that points to process of resistance.
