According to reports by AND the Committee for Boycott of the Electoral Farce in Sorocaba on whose founding we reported previously, has realized several actions in the lead-up to the first round of the electoral farce.
Among others they realized two agitation actions at two well frequented bus stops.
In another action they carried out a leaflet campaign in the occupation of Dandara, where workers are struggling for their right to livable housing.
AND has also reported on a popular school being held on October 3 in Florianópolis. It was organized by the local support committee for AND and included the presence of student organizations, like the Maruí Student Movement, and the Santa Catarina Executive Committee of Pedagogy Students, as well as progressive, democratic and revolutionary individuals.
In its analysis it denounced the electoral farce and highlighted the different ongoing popular struggles, like the struggle for land led by the League of the Poor Peasants (LCP). On this basis joint boycott actions were planned.
