June is coming to an end & I want to highlight some exciting days I experienced early in the month as @KilombaC co-founder. We were invited to the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent & worked alongside historic orgs fighting for the rights of Black people globally.

Sara, ativista, periférica, empreendedora, passou mal durante o voo e faleceu enquanto estava a caminho de uma conferência na California. A família está arrecadando fundos para ajudar com os custos do translado da Sara para o Brasil. Nossos sentimentos à sua família e amigos. 👇🏾

We support the democratic institutions that were viscously attacked by far-right nationalist Bolsonaro supporters yesterday. This was a white supremacist, interventionist, & explicitly fascist assault on the will of the people attested by fair & transparent elections. 📸 @nytimes

We express our unconditional support to the Minister of Racial Equity, @aniellefranco, and the Minister of Indigenous Peoples, @GuajajaraSonia, who were forced to postpone their inauguration scheduled to happen in the next two days due to safety concerns. +

We have survived centuries of attempts of the total extermination of our lives and minds. We will not be intimidated.

The racist and misogynistic nature of these attacks are proof that we have hit a nerve, as we have always done. We are the continuation of a long tradition of movements that have shaped the struggle for liberation and social justice in Brazil. +

The invasion of Brazil’s Presidential Palace & Supreme Court by Bolsonaro’s supporters comes at no surprise. Unfortunately, Bolsonaro and his far-right fascist followers are not going anywhere without a fight.

Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil. We must stand in solidarity with @LulaOficial’s democratically elected government. 🇧🇷 The US must cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida.
Bolsonarista terrorists broke down the police barrier and invaded the Congress ramp and threatened to occupy the chamber and the Senate. The Minister of Justice @FlavioDino announced that he is allowing the use of all federal forces against them.

Two years after Jan 6, supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro are sacking government buildings in the capital today. Steve Bannon is one of Bolsonaro’s closest advisors.
🚨BRASIL: Assim está o STF. O prédio da Suprema Corte está sendo destruído por bolsonaristas.

Brazil’s new minister of justice proclaiming that this attempt to take the government by force will not prevail. If you are out of the loop, Bolosonaro supporters invaded the Supreme Court and other government buildings.
Essa absurda tentativa de impor a vontade pela força não vai prevalecer. O Governo do Distrito Federal afirma que haverá reforços. E as forças de que dispomos estão agindo. Estou na sede do Ministério da Justiça.

The man below is a famous presenter on Brazilian TV. He wonders if anyone has confused the wooden sticks of the Bolsonaro supporters with rifles. Countless Black men have been killed because their umbrella, walking stick or whatever were “confused” as rifles.
Ninguém confundiu as madeiras dos invasores do congresso amarradas com cordas, com um fuzil né?

What a sad day to the Brazilian democracies as well to all democracies around the world. Far right movements have copy and paste strategies around the world. This is a global fight and we need stronger collaboration among progressive governments.

Kilomba's name is a reference to the Quilombos, revolutionary communities that represent Black liberation and resistance. We’re proud to co-sponsor this event celebrating the lives, work and legacy of freedom of Quilombola women in Brazil. lnkd.in/gnmhPD-8
