Message From Brazil: Organize!

Mike Elk has spent considerable time in Brazil and he was there observing and writing about what happened during Brazil’s election. He told Norman Stockwell how Brazilians’ resolve to not return to the dark days of Bolsonarism inspired creative efforts to attract nonvoters and Bolsonaro voters to the light. And it worked. Listen to how they did it.
