Erika Hilton: The Black Women's March has been held for 10 years.
Erika Hilton: Our Councilwoman, who makes us so proud in São Paulo, has continued our work, our legacy, has brought to the São Paulo City Council a political project of diversity, in favor of women, for citizenship, in defense of the rights of LGBTQIA+ populations, and has fought against racism, machismo and structural violence.
It is an honor and a joy for this House to receive the visit of the honorable Councilwoman and of all the Black women who today occupy the Esplanade of the Ministries to constitute a society without racism, without sexism, without machismo and without violence. Thank you, President.

Erika Hilton: It is 10 years of the Black Women's March, and the Esplanade of the Ministries is filled with the grit, boldness, courage, resilience, and strength of Black women for a better world, a better society, and better politics.
