Joining us for #MarchWithUs is Lígia Batista, a human rights lawyer and executive director of Instituto Marielle Franco, a Brazilian organization created by the family of Marielle Franco, a politician and human rights activist murdered in March 2018. We will hear from her about some of their work on the defence of anti-racist public policies, changing the structures of the political system in Brazil and on preventing political violence based on gender and race.
