Event Description:
We are witnessing the rise of supremacist movements that have historically targeted Afro-descendants and their efforts to advance human rights worldwide. This event will discuss the reactionary political agenda that seeks to block public policies against systemic racism in Brazil and the United States. Black religious leaders and civil society organizations from both countries will reflect on how these challenges impact Afro-descendant communities globally and explore solutions to counter them. Through dialogue and shared strategies, this discussion aims to strengthen resistance and promote policies that safeguard racial justice and human rights.
