Hundreds of people walked through downtown São Paulo on Monday, April 14, demanding justice for Senegalese street vendor Ngange Mbaye, another victim of the Military Police (PM).

But the police officer killed him,” laments Senegalese Soda Diop, known as Mama. She has been working for almost two decades providing support to newly arrived immigrants in the capital.

#PeoplesHistory | Today we honor José Carlos Mariátegui—Latin America’s revolutionary Marxist thinker who championed an Indigenous-rooted socialism.
A Peruvian journalist, philosopher, and activist, Mariátegui overcame severe disabilities and a tragically short life (dying at 35) to redefine Peru’s struggle against colonialism and for social, political, and economic emancipation through Marxism. His seminal work, "Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality," remains a cornerstone of anti-colonial socialist thought.
