📅 11 September 2020 📍 Brazil

The National Coordination of Rural Black Quilombola Communities (CONAQ), joined by political parties, filed ADPF 742. The petition challenged federal omissions and demanded measures to protect quilombola communities during the pandemic. The case made visible how long-standing gaps in public services and territorial protection increased exposure to crisis; it was community-led litigation, not a state-initiated program.
