We are delighted to see this from Brazil’s respected Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos (INESC,) which has launched a Brazilian (Portuguese-language) campaign, as part of our global End Tax Haven Secrecy (ETHS) initiative.

INESC says:

At the moment, the goal is keep media as an allied and stimulate popular access on the campaign website. To participate, people in Brazil must go to the site and click on ‘Take Action.’
