Dear compas
We have 2 notes about brazilian situation already disseminated
We propose your clear support to them. There is also the suggestion of a specific note from IC organizations themselves, as the text bellow. Please sign if you agree with.
We do not want to see blood in Brazil, from men or women who choose the right to disobedience. They are the same brazilian people who had gathered with us in Salvador, Bahia, a few days ago to defend the dream and democracy, and to affirm that Resisting is Creating, Resisting is Transforming.
For the right to resistance

Querido Presidente Lula,
Que magia é a sua para ser hoje o garante da democracia brasileira, o símbolo de esperança para milhões de brasileiros que gritam o seu nome por todo o país e em muitas cidades estrangeiras? Que magia é essa para com tanta coragem e no meio de tanto sofrimento pessoal dar essa extraordinária lição de dignidade e de humanidade? A resposta é bem fácil: a sua simplicidade, querido Presidente, é tão grande que os seus algozes subestimaram a grandeza que ela transporta. Já eram pequenos agora são minúsculos e assim ficarão para a história, a história em que o Senhor já brilha e brilhará.
Um abraço comovido e muito amigo.

Dear President Lula:
What kind of magic do you have that makes you today the guarantor of Brazilian democracy, a beacon of hope for millions of Brazilians shouting you name all over the country and in so many foreign cities? What kind of magic allows you to give such an extraordinary lesson of humanity and dignity under so much personal suffering? The answer couldn’t be easier: your simplicity, dear President, is such that your executioners underestimated the greatness it carries. Small that they were to start with, they have become minuscule. That’s how history will have them, the same history in which you already shine and will forever shine.
Please accept my most heartfelt greetings.
Boaventura de Sousa Santos
