In recent days, we celebrated moments of collective action and care in Parelheiros with the Against Racism, I Plant campaign, reaching the milestone of 1,150 native Atlantic Forest trees planted!
On November 29, we continued putting new life into the soil, reaffirming that combating racism also happens through caring for the territory and regenerating the Atlantic Forest. Each seedling planted represents a gesture of memory, struggle, and future. ✊🏿💚
On December 1, during the Rede LiteraSampa experience in Parelheiros, the planting continued — strengthening connections, expanding conversations, and showing that words, art, and territory go hand in hand in building a more just world. 🌿✨
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us, sharing presence, listening, work, and care. Together, we continue sowing care and growing this forest of anti-racist actions. 🍃🤝
