As Brazil faces a challenging political landscape characterized by polarization and rising incidents of political violence — particularly affecting marginalized groups such as Black individuals, women, indigenous communities, and the LGBTI+ population—addressing the issue of disinformation has never been more urgent. This campaign seeks to equip voters with the tools they need to discern false content and understand the critical roles of City Hall and the Municipal Council in the promotion of human rights.

By fostering informed citizenship, Conectas aims to guide voters toward candidates who prioritize the defense of human and socio-environmental rights, thereby contributing to a more equitable and just society.
