We hereby share an unofficial translation of a call for an event summoned on occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Santa Elina.
On August 22 and 23, the Union of Oil Workers of the Paulista Coast (Sindipetro-LP) will hold a vigorous event in memory of the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Santa Elina. The event will feature the participation of the peasants who took part in the battle, along with other democratic organizations advocating for the struggle for land.
The event is organized by Sindipetro-LP, the Brazilian Center for Solidarity with the Peoples (CEBRASPO), the Brazilian Association of People’s Lawyers – Gabriel Pimenta (ABRAPO), the League of Poor Peasants (LCP), and the support committee for the newspaper A Nova Democracia from Baixada Santista.
The event will take place over two days of intense debates focused on people’s struggle and will discuss the episode of the Battle of Santa Elina, as well as the development of the peasant and indigenous struggles in our country, the heroic Palestinian National Resistance, and the struggle against police violence against the masses in the favelas of Brazil.
The event is open to the public and will begin at 5:30 PM on August 22, at the headquarters of Sindipetro-LP, located at Av. Conselheiro Nébias, 248 – Vila Mathias – Santos.
