Brazil is currently going through its own fascist uprising with the recent election. We must support one another through these difficult times. Please reblog/spread this link to help them raise funds for organizations that will help the most vulnerable people survive rampant government supported violence. This includes shelters for homeless lgbta+ youth, civil rights advocates, women’s shelters, and victims of urban violence.
“Brazil’s extremist president-elect Jair Bolsonaro has openly incited violence and paved the way for attacks across the country. The next four years will be challenging, but a global response starts here and now – supporting organizations that aid those affected by misogyny, racism and homophobia. Donate and be a part of the resistance!“
