We will do everything we can to help ensure that his work lives on. Our thoughts are with Michael’s nearest and dearest, his family, friends and colleagues in New York.

There is a shared working condition that's universal, and there are overlapping trajectories and aspirations and we can learn from each other. We had hoped it was to be just the first of such visits. This really is a global, collaborative endeavor. Michael flew down from Brooklyn to São Paulo, where he stayed with us, and was shown around the city. This was a career highpoint for all of us. He was tireless in his support for the release of political prisoner Lula da Silva, and together we were able to interview the former president in January this year. His recent book ‘Against the Web: A Cosmopolitan Answer to the New Right’ sought to provide practical answers to the challenges facing those fighting for the emancipatory politics that he espoused, and he was one of the few North American voices to constantly speak out about what was really happening to Brazil. Michael had been a supporter, a collaborator and an ally to Brasil Wire for some years now, and this grew into friendship. He was also briefly the co-host, along with Anna Kasparian, on a new YouTube show for Jacobin Magazine entitled Weekends. We are writing this in shock and grief at the sudden passing of our friend, journalist and broadcaster Michael Brooks. Michael Brooks was the host of the Michael Brooks Show and contributing host for the four-time award-winning independent political talk show, The Majority Report.
