The event will be broadcast live, at 12pm UTC time (9am RIO; 8am NY), by one of the most prominent and inspiring community leaders, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/camilaapssantos" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100002750301678&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A1647846118568514%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1">Camila Moradia</a> from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sigaquerominhacasa/" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=1137181859629164&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A1647846118568514%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1">Quero minha casa.</a> The livestream will include English translation and additional local context through the support of WITNESS’ <a href="https://technology.witness.org/tools/">Mobil-Eyes Us project.</a></p> <p>Since 2009, about 500 families who occupied the land – where the Skol brewery was once located – have been removed on the grounds that the homes were at risk because of the presence of the abandoned brewery building.</p> <p>During his time as deputy governor of Rio<span class="text_exposed_show">, Luiz Fernando Pezão (who is now governor) promised that he would deliver new homes within nine months. Seven years have gone by and the residents still remain <a href="http://www.rioonwatch.org/?p=29578" target="_blank" rel="noopener">without adequate housing</a>. And they receive insufficient rent assistance to be able to afford the city’s high cost of housing.</span></p> <p>This Thursday, we have a great opportunity to change the way this community has been treated in the struggle for housing rights. Your support is urgent and fundamental, as well as the support from the people around you, so that this victory does not become another empty promise in this history of resistance and fight. Now it’s more important than ever to show that we’re on their side and that there are a lot of people watching!</p> <p>Show support by sharing the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1647846118568514/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%222%22%2C%22ref_dashboard_filter%22%3A%22upcoming%22%2C%22feed_story_type%22%3A%22117%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22[%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22dashboard%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22main_list%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A[]%7D]%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook event</a>, invite your friends to do the same and on August 31st, make yourself present wherever you are!
