On June 17, a coalition of Brazilian social movements submitted a series of proposals to the Ministry of Finance, aimed at influencing discussions during the upcoming BRICS summit scheduled for July in Rio de Janeiro. The proposals reflect the diverse needs and aspirations of various communities across Brazil, emphasizing social justice, economic equality, and sustainable development.

The social movements are advocating for policies that prioritize the welfare of marginalized populations, including indigenous groups, women, and low-income communities. They are calling for increased investment in public services, such as health care and education, as well as measures to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability.

As BRICS nations prepare to convene, the input from these grassroots organizations underscores the importance of inclusive dialogue in shaping economic policies that address the pressing issues faced by citizens. The proposals aim to ensure that the voices of the people are heard and considered in the decision-making processes at the summit.
