High-stakes elections are underway in Brazil. Far-right presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro won Brazil’s first round by two points on October 4th. The second round is set to take place on October 25. The United States and Meta, in particular, have been acting to sway the vote in favor of far-right Trump ally Flavio Bolsonaro.

What is at stake for Brazil’s democracy, and what could the outcome mean for the rest of Latin America?

Join us for an in-depth conversation with journalists and human rights advocates reporting from Brazil.

Our guests will examine the threat of U.S. interference in Brazil’s elections, the role of social media platforms in shaping political outcomes, and the broader implications for democracy across Latin America. As Trump’s so-called “Donroe Doctrine” escalates attacks on the region, these conversations are needed now more than ever.

Join us this Wednesday, October 21, at 4 PM PT!

Hear from journalists and human rights advocates on the ground in Brazil as they discuss what’s at stake in the country’s elections and the future of democracy across Latin America.

Panelists: 

Maria Luisa Mendonça is the Director of the Network for Social Justice and Human Rights in Brazil. She holds a PhD in Human Geography from the University of São Paulo.

Michael Fox is a longtime reporter and Brazil-based journalist. He is a former editor of NACLA’s Report on the Americas and the producer and host of the podcasts Brazil on Fire and Under the Shadow.

Nicole Froio is a Brazilian writer, researcher, and journalist based in Rio de Janeiro. She writes about women’s rights, digital cultures, and popular movements.

Brian Mier has lived in Brazil for over 30 years and holds master’s degrees from Loyola University Chicago and the University of London. He is an editor at Panamerican Dispatch, a freelance journalist, and co-host of the weekly Portuguese-language web TV program Globalistas on Brasil 247.

At a moment when democracy across Latin America faces growing threats of foreign interference and political repression, it’s more important than ever to hear directly from those on the ground.

The webinar will take place on Zoom, with Spanish interpretation available. The event will also be streamed on YouTube and Facebook.

Presented by: Global Exchange, The Real News and Panamerican Dispatch.
