This is a non-party and non-institutional movement for Marina Silva to become President of Brazil. We see Marina as someone with outstanding political and environmental leadership qualities and the capacity to take on the role of President of Brazil, leading the country towards a sustainable twenty first century.
Since the start of her political journey with Chico Mendes in the Amazon, Marina has become the embodiment of a commitment to all living beings, working tirelessly to bring an ecological perspective to Brazilian and global politics. In today’s Brazil, which suffers from a profound crisis of values in public life, Marina is also a shining example of ethics in politics.
We believe in the candidacy of this Brazilian and planetary woman who has the political and pedagogical ability to represent the emerging, and urgent, transition towards Democracy with Sustainability. Marina Silva has the power and capability that few politicians currently possess to make the necessary fundamental changes a reality.
The candidacy of Marina Silva has the potential to teach Brazilian society how to find new political paths. Together we will be able to build societies that are sustainable in their social, economic, environmental, political and ethical dimensions.
This movement is the expression of the innovative power of social networks that seek new ways of building political legitimacy to address new societal dynamics and concerns, without for the time being concerned with the restrictions of political parties.
Join with us in persuading her to acknowledge the power of her leadership for the construction of a more sustainable society.
PS: this is an environmental and ethical citizens’ initiative comprising politically and ecologically concerned individuals, and with no formal links as yet with Marina Silva herself. Become someone co-responsible for Democracy with Sustainability.

Marina´s Words:
“I have come to the conclusion that, after thirty years of socio-environmental struggle in Brazil, (...) the time has arrived to stop banging my head against the wall trying to persuade the political party I have belonged to for almost thirty years, but rather the time has come to join up with those different sectors of society willing to take on the role, unreservedly and clearly, of becoming the agents of change for a just and sustainable Brazil, to bring about the value and paradigm shifts that will usher in a new model of development for the country. (…)”
“I am firmly convinced that this decision is in line with the thinking of those thousands of people in Brazil and worldwide who for decades have clearly pointed out the errors of a concept of development focused on material growth at any cost, with exaggerated rewards for the few and perverse outcomes for the majority at the price, especially for the poorest, of destruction of natural resources and of quality of life.”
“I want to be connected to the living nuclei of society, where seeds are germinating.”
“Brazil needs to live up to the environmental superpower it is. However Brazil is perhaps the only country able to achieve what the United States achieved in the past. We have the resources. Brazil has enormous hydroelectric potential; it has thirty years-worth of ethanol production technology, three and a half million square kilometers of agricultural land and eleven percent of the freshwater resources of the planet. It would be able to double its production without felling another single tree.”
“My heart is trying to tell me something.”
“At 51 years of age it is time to be a champion of utopias.”
