WORLD WORLDWIDE BRAZIL News Journal Update - (en) Brazil, Rusga Libertária: All support for the Esperança Occupation! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The Esperança Community, made up of more than 500 families who built their homes

with their own hands and collective effort in Osasco (SP), suffers a serious
threat of repossession that has been running in court for over 10 years. A few
weeks ago, the community had to face a new request for eviction made by the
Public Ministry, which, if carried out, would turn into a social tragedy. ----
The issue of housing, which is the basis of survival and a dignified life,
affects many other fields. Without proof of residence, for example, it is very
difficult to access any other social right. Land conflicts result in forced
evictions and removals of people from their place of residence and survival. It
is a chronic and invisible problem in Brazil, a country that has many people
without homes, and many homes without people: countless properties and land that
do not fulfill the social function of public and private property.

Between August 2020 and May 2022, the number of families evicted in Brazil
increased by 393%, according to a survey by the Campaign Zero Eviction. According
to data from the "National Mapping of Conflicts for Land and Housing", released
in February 2023, more than 40,000 families have undergone eviction or
repossession processes since the beginning of the pandemic, and 217,881 families
have experienced some type of threat to leave the places where they live. The
situation affects more than 1 million people in all regions of the country (66%
are black people, and 60% are women). In the state of São Paulo alone, there are
318 conflicts mapped, including threats, partial removal and total removal, and
44 cases of temporary suspension. The data reach the observatories through
denouncements, so they may be undersized.

Ocupação Esperança fights for concrete steps to be taken towards the community's
land tenure regularization. In this, he denounces the omission of the mayor of
Osasco, Rogério Lins, who does not keep his promise and puts the lives of so many
people at risk. Regularization Now!

NO TO Eviction!
HOUSING WORTHY NOW!
