Samara Martins: A dignified home, but to say it's possible, because there are more empty houses than people needing housing, there are more built spaces than people needing housing.
Samara Martins: Brazil wouldn't need to build another house, not another house, if the closed spaces were used, if closed spaces were renovated to guarantee housing.
So we've been carrying out occupations in defense of housing.
Samara Martins: In fact, let me record, give a shout-out to our Francisco Bernardo occupation in Paraná, which was unfortunately evicted this week by the Federal Police — several families, dozens of organized families were put out on the street with nowhere to go.
Samara Martins: Also, I went to Francisco Bernardo on this trip around Brazil, and I met a little 10-year-old boy named Jonathan, and he spoke at our pre-candidacy presentation event, and it's something I say — it even gives me chills — I have a six-year-old son, and you see a 10-year-old child having to think about happiness, having to think about food, having to think about housing, and he said that that day he was a happy child because he had the occupation, because in the occupation he could eat.
