To: Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton, speak out on Brazil
Take a position on the impeachment process currently underway against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff
Why is this important?
Dear Secretary Clinton,
The vitality and integrity of constitutional democracies in Latin America should be regarded as a chief concern for the United States as well as the rest of the world. The legitimacy of the impeachment process currently underway against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has been persistently questioned by Brazilian and international jurists and intellectuals, sovereign governments, multilateral entities, and Brazilian voters. In addition, many concerns have been raised over the misogyny characterizing this process, and the repercussions this could have on female political leadership and broader questions of social justice in our hemisphere. We urge you to take a stance on this matter, critical to the public trust in our democratic institutions and bilateral relations. As the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, your position on this issue will set the tone for the United States' engagement with the region going forward, and your silence construed as tacit support.
Sincerely,
