Guest: Nick Estes, journalist, historian and host of the Red Nation Podcast

Last month Progressive International received a letter from The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) calling for solidarity in their struggle for life and requesting a delegation to travel .to Brazil to witness Bolsonaro's assault on indigenous people and the environment.

Over the course of 10 days, the delegation met with an incredible range of political actors in Brazil, including:

Indigenous leaders from APIB

Ki Lombola representatives

Members of congress from parties such as: PT, PSOL and PSB

Trade unions and social movements including the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST)

Members of the Panamazonic Social Forum; and,

Civil society actors

Nick was a member of the Progressive International emergency delegation and returned to the US from Brazil just prior to joining our conversation.
