Mission Statement
Our Organization's mission is to promote citizenship and human security for populations in situations of extreme vulnerability through interdisciplinary popular training based on an intersectional approach aimed at producing social impact with anti-racist educational tools Combating structural racism and the various forms of symbolic discrimination and inequality material and representative through consulting and multifaceted partnerships and between different sectors for the development of proposed interventions, studies and research, with the purpose of highlighting the scientific method as essential to transform the social and individual improvement of skills We are a popular education center that is housed in the social movements of women's housing and LGBTQIA as well as the Unified Black Movement Initially as Luz Laura Vermont Center for Popular Education with a focus on education for LGBTQIA people and women. We started our activities together with the Transcidadania program of the São Paulo City Hall in 2015. We encourage women from this program to go back to school to enter the University in order to build transgender voices in the spaces of knowledge construction in public policy and in private initiatives. Providing quality of life and readjustment of the conditioned life story to these people due to structural racism and institutional lgbtqiaphobia In 2020, due to the Pandemic, the core practices have become fundamental tools to meet the diverse and profound demands through new fronts of assistance humanitarian. This is how we started to document ourselves and then the Social Organization AMALGAMAR Educação Popular Consultoria Advocacy and Intersectionality emerged with the motto of Diversity in Practice, a direct result of the union of these students with teachers and es coordinators from the core, thus bringing a formal character in legal terms for the activities carried out by the nucleus in order to become a platform that enables the institutional contractual procedures to carry out more actions in this regard. of intersectoral partnerships that only base on the forms of operation and fundraising in a critical way, raising awareness of the need and interdependence between us. Light with a large presence of black women and trans people living on the streets, violence and chemical dependency, in addition to facing greater structural difficulty in accessing the social assistance system of health care and even receiving donations of clothes, food, meals and mainly personal hygiene material menstrual poverty, mainly of adolescent children. Joints, movements and networks Our articulations pass through the LGBTQIA communities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Paraíba, where we reconcile points of contact with activists, researchers/university collectives, as well as affinity groups in different sectors, as well as public sectors that work with LGBTQIA policies in state and municipal level We reconcile this starting point with the popular education movements of university and high school students of housing and environmentalism due to the bridges that we exercise as our practice to create porosity and penetrate this diverse population with the Black Women's movements as well like the Unified Black Movement.Over the years in which our actions began in 2015, we participated in the implementation of unprecedented public policies for historically neglected populations, such as the Transcidadania program with the transsexual and transvestite population of the city of São Paulo, which has been home to a real migratory flow of people for decades. who seek the possibility of existing freely, and accessing citizenship. With the launch of Social Programs for a welcoming home, such as Casa Florescer, education work was integrated with reception, social assistance, public health, prevention, hormone treatment, struggle for rights and access, school regularization, access to the labor market and higher education, to the recent achievements of quotas in federal universities, as in the case that we composed the creation of quotas for Trans people at UFABC. . In these struggles, we were involved in several of these processes, including the popular education/training tool, in addition to cooperation work, collective/focal construction, as well as the execution of projects themselves together with activism and art collectives, LGBTQIA+ Citizenship Centers. , Defense and Citizenship of Women (Casa Anastácia - Cidade Tiradentes), Pombas Urbanas Institute.
About This Cause
Our face-to-face work was initially interrupted regarding classes and external activists, until the need to commit enormous efforts to humanitarian assistance in Greater São Paulo, food insecurity, the increase in the homeless population, as well as other factors such as migration and violence domestic/family, school escape, among other factors showed us a chaotic scenario, even more so because during the quarantine the city center became an apocalyptic scenario, we had to replace the workforce of missionaries, elderly in short, who delivered food to the streets, mainly in the cracolândia region, with that, we also assumed this role, with the new approach, of young people and educators, there were interactions that were influential until the execution of the popular cinema project in Praça Princesa Isabel in December 2021. But since March 2020, we were aware that the LGBTIQA+ population would be brutally affected, many rights would be infringed. violated and access to citizenship would be suffocated by basic needs and infinite losses due to the fact that it is an autonomous professional population, with this, we pay attention to the most basic stratifications of our community, the black population and mainly trans/transvestites. The solution would be to reach houses, houses, families, pensions, hostels, republics and even the house of cafetinas, where hundreds of trans women and transvestites lived and were, banned from leaving due to the pandemic or forced to prostitute themselves and expose themselves on the street in quarantine. to supply the exploitation of a system of subjection to them. As a result, our Organization was built up until it was launched, but we acted intelligently with others so that we could continue to meet these needs. Currently, with the recent formalization, we intend to take advantage of this humanitarian assistance contact network, and optimize projects that maintain the link, and promote access to education by this diverse population, mostly marked by women, cis and trans, black women and young people, who, in addition to being illiterate and homeless, are unable to work, are restricted from work, have information or sexual exploitation and are deeply affected by the consequences of the pandemic that are still producing side effects to date, in addition to the epidemics already faced by the demarcated populations, added to the need and interest to engage in vulnerability mitigation projects that create paths to autonomy. These difficulties and adversities can also be summarized by the blockade that the organization suffered by some entities, public notice foundations and donation processes due to being a new legal entity, even having a work that was not incipient, and this made it impossible for the resource to be accessed by different groups, students and people served. It is factual the structural difficulty of receiving attention, the look of public, private institutions or organizations due to the affected population that we work, the historical refusal to promote these populations is latent, as was the case of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and this is repeated, mainly due to the flow that oscillates and progressively decreases so as not to meet the demands of intermediary organizations and promoters of humanitarian assistance. From this profound starting point, we reconcile different movements through the individual experiences of the members of this organization and the existing porosity in relation to the presence in struggles for housing, environmentalist/environmental racism, as well as women, black women, trans visibility, LGBTQIA+, educators, popular education, students, high school students, artists as well as the unified black movement. Therefore, from this diverse and deep range of activism centered in Greater São Paulo, as a starting point and capillarization to other regions, we established our own network of work, as in the case of our last action with the population of Praça Princesa Isabel when we installed a Cinema Popular with activities integrated with the National Front of Women for Hip Hop. We actively participate in various manifestations regarding activists and also within these movements that we participate, such as the case of indigenous people and the fight against the Temporal Framework and the March of Indigenous Women. In the central region of São Paulo, we are part of the Bom Retiro Network of Social Organizations and Entities, as well as the Network for the protection against genocide where we accompany, ask for assistance and activate contacts as well as denounce human rights violations in the region, together with the State Front. Population of the Street Population, and the Front to Struggle for the Homeless Population, and finally the LGBTQIA+ Parliamentary Front that established the Parliamentary Commission Inquiry of Trans deaths.
