Episode description
In 2022, Brazilians faced a match-up between far-right incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, aka ‘Trump of the Tropics’, and progressive Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In the end, Lula triumphed by a fraction of a percent. That hard fought victory was thanks in no small part to youth voters and the campaign that increased their participation by 47%. Listen in on how organizers unleashed the power of BTS fandom, democracy trainings, celebrity endorsements, and carefully calibrated messaging to create a polyvocal campaign to get this absolutely critical - yet understandably cynical - voting block to the polls.
