Our most recent event.
Resisting Racism and Bolsonaro’s Far-Right : Solidarity with BLM Brazil & the Indigenous Struggle. – 7pm, Thu, 3 September
Far-right president Bolsonaro’s systematic destruction of indigenous protections has led to the spread of the virus into vulnerable indigenous communities around the country and his irresponsible stance is contributing to the growth of misinformation about COVID-19.
We’ve witnessed a rise in racism towards black, indigenous and other Brazilians, making Black movements in Brazil like those of quilombo communities, BLM; and the indigenous struggle vitally important at this critical time.
FEATURING:
– Martvs Chagas, Brazilian Workers’ Party (PT) Secretary for Combating Racism
– Carmen Foro, General Secretary of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT Brazil)
– Kretã Kaingang, Executive Coordinator of the South Region of Brazil, Brazil’s Indigenous People Articulation (APIB)
