Chico Mendes
Organized rubber tappers to defend the Amazon rainforest from ranchers and loggers, and was murdered in 1988.
Chico Mendes sits in the left-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: strongly state-led and leaning libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly nature-first on environment, strongly anti-establishment on institutions and strongly state-led on economy. The profile is close to the middle on culture and interventionism.
