YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Brazil is on high alert as the country goes to the polls to choose between the current right-wing president and former army officer Jair Bolsonaro, and the leftist former trade union leader Inácio Lula da Silva.

But they aren't the only ones running for office.

Renata Souza is one of the few Afro-Brazilian women running for office in Brazil — and it isn’t easy.

Souza has moved homes twice already because of death threats and can’t go anywhere without a security detail and a bulletproof car. She also has to face a very real threat: armed militias that control access to certain neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro.

Join AJ+ as we hit the campaign trail with Souza and discover what it’s like to be a Black politician running for office in Brazil.
