Around the world, Black-led movements are raising the stakes in our collective struggles. This discussion series with leading Black and Indigenous militants from across Brazil spotlights their experiences in organizing against state violence, workplace exploitation, and structural racism everywhere from education to healthcare.
Today's movements facing neo-fascism, militarization, and an unprecedented public health crisis stand on the shoulders of past generations of Black and Indigenous struggle. Speakers will address the long-term objectives of their movements and how socialists in the US can support comrades leading these struggles.
This is a series, running every Friday 7 - 8 pm EST until May 7.
This week we are hearing from Samara Sosthenes- co-councilwoman of São Paulo, a member of Quilombo Periférico (Quilombo of the Periphery) collective mandate of PSOL, and a trans and housing activist.
