Julho Negro<\/a> (“Black July”) is a joint international event against militarization and racism around<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the world. This year, it is being held from July 23\u201327 in Rio de Janeiro with participants from over fifteen countries, including Palestine, Chile, Colombia, South Africa, the United\u00a0<\/span>States, Argentina, and India, among others. The objective is to provide a forum for these\u00a0movements to denounce the ways by which these States have treated the impoverished in each territory.<\/p>\n

Julho Negro is organized by mothers who have lost their children to police violence<\/a>, as well as broader favela movements in Rio de Janeiro. In previous years, Julho Negro connected with organizations such as Black Lives Matter<\/a> in the United States and mothers and relatives of victims from Palestine, Mexico and the Association of Haitians in Brazil<\/a>. All of the activities will be held in favelas in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n
