URGENT: Show your support for Lula as Bolsonaro ramps his campaign of hate


TOMORROW 6.30PM: Lula vs Bolsonaro: the election that will define Brazil’s future

With the second round of the Brazilian election taking place on Sunday, we need to show Lula and the millions of Brazilians resisting Bolsonaro that we are with them.
 
A rise in political violence aimed at stopping people voting, serious allegations of vote buying, and continued misinformation from Bolsonaro's campaign. There is a lot we are up against.
 
Tomorrow (Thursday, October 27th) at 6.30PM (GMT+1). You can join the zoom webinar and help us build international solidarity here.
 
WITH:
- Julia Felmanas, Brazilian Workers' Party London (PT Londres), coordinator
- Richard Burgon MP, Brazil Solidarity Initiative chair
- Brian Meir, journalist for teleSUR English
- Elda Cardoso, Frente Preta UK
- Mohammad Suhail, Young Labour International Officer
- PLUS MORE TBA!

Join us on Zoom here
Please also share the event on Facebook, on twitter or through your own networks.

Together, we can show Bolsonaro and the far-right that the world is watching - no more political violence and no more attacks on Brazilian democracy.

We will also be hosting a post-election rally on November 7th, with electoral observers from the second round vote including Jeremy Corbyn. Please see below for more details.
