The current Brazilian election runoff between Lula and Bolsonaro is one of the most crucial elections in the world. At stake is not only the future of the Amazonian rainforest and the Indigenous people who live there, but also the future of democracy in Latin America. Ballot locationsfor Brazilians in diaspora in the US are extremely limited. As Aline mentions in this podcast, she will have to go to Washington D.C. to cast her ballot. You can provide solidarity support for this local peace and justice organizer by contributing to her Venmo @Aline-Prata.
