Day 10-Lula Wins!
Despite right-wing voter suppression tactics (like taking transportation systems offline), online suppression by Meta, Trump and Netanyahu backing Bolsonaro…
The way Brazilians mobilized for Lula makes me cry. It’s so EPIC, it’s one for the history books.
- Despite Pro-Bolsonaro politicians taking transportation systems offline, the people of Brazil did not give up.
- Rural Brazilians took boats in masses to vote for Lula.
- People across Brazil were canoeing!
- Indigenous people marched to the voting polls.
- Indigenous and working class people were transported into the main city to vote.
- An army of 10+ million people in a WhatsApp group chat fought Meta’s suppression of Lula online. It worked!
- It wasn’t just the younger generation that voted. A 102 year old woman went to vote for Lula. Elderly people did everything they could to get to these polls.
- Against all odds, Lula won by 2% of the f*cking margin.
It’s HUGE for the central battles of our world today: It’s going to save the rain forest (and helps the climate change issue). It defends social progress. And it stops the rise of the global far-right.
The entire WORLD needed this. I am so happy! Had to share my happiness with you.
P.S. I know my overlays move by really fast. Feel free to tap on the screen to pause the video to read, and then tap again to resume the playback.
