(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners held a march in Brás, Brazil on September 27, 2025, to introduce the spiritual practice to the public and to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and South America, and the country’s economic and financial center. Bras is São Paulo’s renowned wholesale center and many Chinese people live there. Nearly 90% of the goods sold here come from China, and the majority of shop owners are Chinese. Not only are the street stalls owned by Chinese, but even the largest shopping malls are built by Chinese businessmen. Business is largely conducted in Chinese in this area.

Practitioners march in São Paulo on September 27, 2025.

Practitioners carried banners and truth-clarifying displays, played the music “Falun Dafa Is Good,” and walked through Brás, sharing information and distributing flyers and newspapers. A car with informational display boards about Falun Dafa and the persecution drove slowly through the area, broadcasting truth-clarifying announcements in Chinese and Portuguese.

Towards the end of the event, a Brazilian woman suddenly popped her head into the car and excitedly exclaimed, “How could this happen? Persecution of Falun Dafa, organ harvesting?! It’s so cruel!” She asked how she could help. A practitioner gave her a leaflet in Portuguese, and explained why the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa. She told her she could sign an online petition to help stop the persecution.

A practitioner talks to people about the persecution.

Over time, people have begun to understand Falun Gong and have learned about the ongoing persecution in China. Chinese business owners who used to be so busy with their business that they refused to accept truth-clarification materials now gladly take them and listen to practitioners’ explanations about Falun Dafa. Passersby, including store employees, now happily accept the materials and chat with practitioners about Falun Dafa and the CCP’s persecution.
