Candidate for state deputy, Vanderlei Fernandes presents proposals for the LGBT community

Candidate for state deputy in São Paulo for PSB – 40700 – Vanderlei Fernandes is the ninth politician to present his proposals to the readers of THE CAPE.

With the slogan "Courage to change" and "Yes, it is possible", the candidate states that he is dedicated to fighting for the rights of those who still suffer prejudice due to their sexual orientation and gender identity.

In his career, Vanderlei says he participates in pro-LGBT acts, such as those calling for the approval of PLC 122, which criminalizes homophobia, and in the São Paulo LGBT Pride Parade.

He is also part of the party's "Sustainability Network" and raised the banner of sexual diversity, starting the collective "Rede Diversidade". He was chosen to form the provisional state coordination, he coordinated the GT for activism and social movements. He is currently a member of the new state board.

Check out the proposals:

– Culture and education: We understand that for great historical advancement to occur, culture is necessary as methods of stimulating teaching learning, from its primary base to its higher education. It is necessary to include cultural activities that arouse students' interest in school and that there is greater interaction with their educators. It is also necessary to give due appreciation to this professional and, in addition, it is necessary to open the doors of schools to receive artists from the surrounding communities, allowing these to be spaces for their workshops and artistic rehearsals, as well as being the stage for their presentations.

– Free student pass: That is, the student’s freedom to come and go without having to take money out of their pocket. Motivating them to visit exhibitions, museums, theaters and other cultural events throughout the state, allowing them to improve their knowledge and develop with great enthusiasm for their qualifications and the achievement of their dreams.

– Combating prejudice: I am committed to encouraging policies that guarantee equal work opportunities and access to all, without distinction.

– Furthermore, I confirm the importance of dialoguing with all municipalities about the need to approve laws to combat prejudice, which today is still huge towards our black brothers, women, homosexuals, transsexuals, transvestites. It is necessary to promote awareness talks with society, in order to clarify all civil rights provided for by law for all people.

– Sustainability: Place effective policies that encourage selective collection and cultural awareness about the importance of a sustainable environment at the center of the debate. As a measure to remedy this serious problem caused by garbage, we want to present the Sustainable Citizen Card project.

– Animal Cause: Given the great demand for abandoned animals in the outskirts and large centers, we want to present proposals for the government to provide tax subsidies to citizens who take in any of these abandoned animals, in addition to encouraging castration and vaccination campaigns for our pet friends.

– Child adoption process: As an adoptive parent, I know the difficulties faced in the adoption process. In some cases, the waiting list exceeds four or five years for the child to have the affection of a home. We want to fight to simplify this process and give thousands of orphaned children the dignity of being a good citizen.
