Ecocide and Genocide in Brazil

Guest: Nick Estes, journalist, historian and host of the Red
Nation Podcast


Last month Progressive International received a letter from The
Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) calling for
solidarity in their struggle for life and requesting a delegation
to travel .to Brazil to witness Bolsonaro's assault on indigenous
people and the environment.


Over the course of 10 days, the delegation met with an incredible
range of political actors in Brazil, including:


Indigenous leaders from APIB


Ki Lombola representatives


Members of congress from parties such as: PT, PSOL and PSB


Trade unions and social movements including the Movimento dos
Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST)


Members of the Panamazonic Social Forum; and,


Civil society actors


Nick was a member of the Progressive International emergency
delegation and returned to the US from Brazil just prior to
joining our conversation.
