James Counts Early is joined by Divina Lopes, popular educator, organizer, militant, and member of the National Coordination of the Landless Workers’ Movement, or Movimiento Sin Tierra (MST) in Brazil. In this conversation, they discuss the consequences and expectations of the upcoming Presidential Election this Sunday, October 2nd, the historical conditions facing the Black and Afro-descendant working class of Brazil, how quilombola communities can teach us about what it will take to build a new society, and why solidarity ties amongst countries in Latin America are important for the global struggle of the working class.
