We are publishing an unofficial translation of a publication by the Frente de Defensa de Luchas del Pueblo (FDLP-EC) - Front of Defence of the People's Struggles from Ecuador, that was sent to us.

Paintings have been found across Brazil in support of the revolutionary peasant movement led by the Liga dos Camponeses Pobres (LCP). Some of the paintings also support the current protests with millions of demonstrators against the government of Bolsonaro. The slogans are:

On July 20, in Colombia, there were mobilizations throughout the country to which comrades made a video that we want to draw attention to.

Also on the 3rd of July,millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest against the genocidal military government of Bolsonaro and his generals. With struggles in more than 312 Brazilian cities, solidarity actions for the struggle of the Brazilian people were also held in 16 other countries.

 

We hereby share a contribution from the Mexican comrades (inofficial translation).

Last Saturday, 3rd of July, the Youth People's Brigade made a mural in memory of this great militant worker, known among militants as "Chino Pelón", in a municipality in struggle and resistance to which comrade Saúl belonged.

We want to share a translation of an important document by the LCP about the official hearings of the four imprisoned activists of the Camp Manoel Ribeiro. The translation was sent to us.

We want to publish an unofficial translation of a document by the Centre for Solidarity with the Peoples (CEBRASPO) that demands the release of the four imprisoned activists of the Camp Manoel Ribeiro. The translation was sent to us.

Last month, the Brazilian music group Canto Geral released the song "Santa Elina é dos camponeses" (Santa Elina belongs to the peasants), which celebrates the struggle of the revolutionary peasant movement in Rondônia. We publish the song and an unofficial translation into English here (found here).

 

 

Santa Elina Belongs to the Peasants

Soaked with the blood
Of workers and peasants
To the Santa Elina Farm
We will return once again

Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia

The terrorist government
Wants to murder the people
Latifundium, their gunmen
Kiss the military’s boot

Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia

The Agrarian Revolution
Is the path of the peasants
Give the land to those who work it
Long live the LCP

Santa Elina belongs to the peasants
No genocide will tear it away
The glorious red flag
Waves in Rondônia
