Dubbed “Vamos Lula” (Let’s Go Lula), the day’s events include marches, motorcades, rallies, flag-waving demonstrations, distribution of campaign materials, cultural events, and other initiatives organized by political parties, social movements, candidates, and groups from various sectors.

According to the organizers, the mobilizations will involve organizations representing women, youth, the Black community, and Indigenous peoples, as well as legal professionals, artists, media figures, and activists and supporters of the Workers’ Party presidential campaign.

The party’s national president, Edinho Silva, called on Lula’s activists and supporters to participate in the activities, stating that the initiative aims to take the campaign to the streets and social media.

The announced agenda includes activities tailored to each city, featuring the participation of local groups.

For example, a women’s mobilization for democracy and a bicycle ride along Paulista Avenue are planned for Sao Paulo.

In Rio de Janeiro, various events have been announced, including activities with legal professionals, a mobilization of mothers, and a cultural event in Copacabana.

Brazil will hold elections on October 4 to choose a president, vice president, and governors, as well as 54 of the 81 senators and members of federal, state, and district legislatures.

If necessary, a runoff election is scheduled for three weeks later.
