The Landless Workers' Movement (MST)

The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a Brazilian social organization advocating for land reform and the rights of rural workers. Founded in 1984, it seeks to redistribute unused land to landless farmers, promoting sustainable agriculture and social justice. The MST often organizes peaceful occupations of large, underused properties and provides education and support to empower rural communities. Its goal is to address inequality, improve living conditions, and foster self-sufficient, cooperative farming practices, emphasizing the importance of fair land distribution for social equity in Brazil.
