(en) Germany, Die Plattform: International solidarity against the floods in Brazil! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Fri, 31 May 2024 09:40:07 +0300


Dear friends, dear comrades, ---- Recently, heavy rains and the resulting floods shook the south of Brazil, especially the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is the worst flood in the history of the regional capital Porto Alegre. The population's situation is catastrophic. On May 9th, civil protection reported that around 1.7 million people were directly affected. Well over 100 people have died in the water and many more are still missing. 400,000 people have lost their roof over their heads and the numbers continue to rise. All of this once again demonstrates the destructive potential of the climate crisis caused by capitalism.

Porto Alegre is also the home and center of the political work of our sister organization Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG). For almost 30 years, the comrades have been active in the diverse struggles of the exploited and oppressed in their region. In trade unions, neighborhood organizations, the student movement, feminist and anti-racist struggles.

Now FAG is turning to the global anarchist movement and therefore also to all of us with an urgent call for solidarity. Many comrades are themselves directly affected by the flood. Some have had to leave their homes, others have no electricity or running water. The Ateneu Libertario in Porto Alegre, which serves as the base for FAG's activities, also had to be temporarily closed because the risk of flooding was too high. So that the comrades can get back to work quickly, they need our support.

Especially as activists from the global north, we see it as our responsibility to support our comrades. We therefore ask you to spread the call for solidarity and donate to the comrades.
