5/6/2021 Today in Rio de Janeiro, the police massacred 24 Black people from the favela because President Bolsonaro wanted to send a message to the courts and the people of Brazil that he can do whatever he wants. It is one of the city’s deadliest attacks. The favelas are where some of the poorest and most marginalized Black people live. You can read about the event in English here. [cw for police brutality and extreme violence to Black people]
There were executions of Black people who had already surrendered. I don’t want to describe all of the horrible graphic details, but I accidentally saw some of the pictures and footage, and I honestly can’t even eat.
Please signal boost this. These are some of our most vulnerable Black people in the entire world. What happened to them today was nothing short of genocide.
According to Black Brazilians, the fastest and most reliable way to get help to Brazil right now is through Voz Das Comunidades
