Equality gets a vote
The campaign "Equality gets a vote" (port. Igualdade tem Voto) arose as an initiative of the political action group "Faz Diferença? - Discussões sobre Inequaldades". At the beginning of 2018, they organized to consult with various specialists, academics, and participating citizens through a web platform, with the aim of developing a supra-partisan and transversal electoral platform focused on the fight against inequality. As a result of the consultations, the group brought together proposals from specialists, politicians and citizens in a programmatic platform organized around 5 axes: democracy, education, health, income and public security. The subsequent objective of the campaign was to send the proposals to various candidates so that they could adopt them as their own and commit to implementing them if elected.
