In the United States, comrades from the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America also expressed their solidarity with the struggle for education in Brazil:
Across Brazil today, tens of thousands of students, teachers, and supporters poured into the streets to demonstrate against far-right president Jair Bolsonaro and his recent devastating cuts to public education. We support the #tsunamidaeducação and stand with the students of Brazil in their fight against Bolsonaro’s destructive regime and his assault on education. Solidarity! ✊
“In May 2019, Harvard University and the Afro-Latin American Research Institute hosted the Mark Claster Mamolen Workshop on Afro-Latin American Studies. From more than 500 applications from several countries, 16 researchers were selected, of which 10 are from Brazilian institutions – 9 from public universities. This is a demonstration of the vitality of Brazilian research and public institutions, contrary to the discourses and cuts in resources implemented by the federal government. Public University, present!” by James Green
