In this episode of Brazil Unfiltered, James Naylor Green speaks with Marcelle Decothé. Marcelle is the advocacy director at the Instituto Marielle Franco. She is completing a doctorate in sociology at the Fluminense Federal University. Her academic interests include activism, race, favelas, and public security. As a representative of the Instituto Marielle Franco, Marcelle was one of the members of a delegation of 19 Brazilian NGOs that traveled to Washington D.C. in late July 2022. The trip was organized by the Washington Brazil Office with the purpose of speaking to policymakers and legislators about the threats to democracy in the upcoming Brazilian elections. The delegation met with officials at the State Department, members of Congress, a representative of the AFL-CIO, ambassadors of the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

Brazil is going through turbulent times. There’s never been a more important moment to understand Brazil’s politics, society, and culture. To go beyond the headlines, and to ask questions that aren’t easy to answer. 'Brazil Unfiltered,' does just that. This podcast is hosted by James N. Green, Professor of Brazilian History and Culture at Brown University and the National Co-Coordinator of the U.S. Network for Democracy in Brazil.

Brazil Unfiltered is part of the Democracy Observatory, supported by the Washington Brazil Office, and produced by Camarada Productions.
