🔴 Notre groupe apporte son soutien total à notre député @BilongoCarlos, qui a fait l'objet d'une immonde insulte raciste de la part d'un député RN. Nous demandons la sanction la plus haute permise par notre règlement : la censure et l'exclusion de ce député raciste. #DirectAN

Le racisme n'a pas sa place en République

Five years ago, #Italy, the #EU, and #Libya signed an agreement to cut off refugees' way to Europe. The deal promoted violence and abuse in #Libya & the #Mediterranean. Tomorrow, the memorandum will be automatically renewed in the Italian Parliament -

Luís Gama, Brazilian journalist & lawyer, formerly enslaved, freed more than 1000 Afro-Brazilians for whom he provided legal assistance & raised funds. His mother Luisa Mahin was a key organizer of Brazil’s 1835 Malé revolt, perhaps the largest urban slave revolt in the Americas.
