Landless Workers' Movement (MST)

The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a Brazilian social organization advocating for land reform and campesino rights. Founded in 1984, it aims to address inequality by advocating for the redistribution of unused land to landless farmers, promoting sustainable agriculture, education, and social justice. MST organizes land occupations, protests, and community-building efforts to empower marginalized rural populations and challenge land concentration by wealthy landowners. It seeks to create a more equitable access to land and resources, fostering rural development and reducing poverty through collective action and political engagement.
