On April 14th, 2017 we hosted an event with President Dilma Rousseff at The Murphy Institute for Labor Studies and Workers Education/CUNY: "Dilma Rousseff: The Attack on Democracy and Human Rights in Brazil".
Defend Democracy in Brazil was created over an year ago. We hit the streets on March 18, 2016 in solidarity with the people of Brazil: to denounce the illegal ousting of the First Woman President of Brazil, re-elected with more than 54 million votes, and to tell the media and the international public opinion that Brazil is now far from “having the institutions functioning well”, as claimed by the new government.
As part of this struggle, we co-sponsored with The Murphy Institute/CUNY this very important event with President Dilma Rousseff discussing what actually has been happening in Brazil since she was removed from office.
Part of the costs of organizing such event was donated by The Murphy Institute, but the other part was covered by members of Defend Democracy in Brazil own funds. We now need to pay them back.
We are a grassroots organization and we are asking for you donation to help us cover the costs relate to:
- Decoration of the stage and the rooms where the President was received and spoke;
- Printing of all the beautiful images of the movement for the exhibition DEFENDING DEMOCRACY IN BRAZIL, documenting the struggle against the coup done by Brazilians abroad and at home (on view until May 1 at The Murphy Institute);
- Simultaneous translation equipment rental;
- Food for a special reception for the President where she met with American labor union leaders, social movements leaders and members of the Brazilian community in NY who are fighting against the coup;
- Printing and other materials needed for logistics, exhibition installation and preparation of the event
Any amount you can give will help us cover these costs.
Thank you,
Defend Democracy in Brazil
