[Biden: Deport Bolsonaro now]( Brazil has become a deeply divided country, and fueled by lies and conspiracy theories about the elections being fraudulent - many Bolsonaro supporters still refuse to accept the results. And just like in the US after Trump lost, thousands of far-right extremists in Brazil have stormed their Congress. They climbed onto government buildings, smashed in windows, destroyed artwork and stole documents. We can’t let this become the new normal in democracies across the world. We need to make sure, that the instigator of such hatred - Jair Bolsonaro - faces accountability back home. We need to set an example for authoritarian leaders across the world that any such violence will not be tolerated. Sign now, and we’ll work with Congresspersons in the US to deport Bolsonaro back to Brazil. [Biden: Deport Bolsonaro now]( The Avaaz movement has taken a stand on behalf of democracy across the world. In the USA, we rose together against the Capitol invasion and in Europe, we fought against political disinformation to save democracy. In Brazil, we have helped protect the Amazon and almost a million of us have signed the petition asking the International Criminal Court to investigate Bolsonaro for alleged crimes against humanity. And we won’t stop until Bolsonaro faces the legal consequences of his acts.
