Viva Brazil Movement

The Viva Brazil Movement (in Portuguese: Movimento Viva Brasil) is a Brazilian non-profit association founded in 2004, with the objective of "defending the constitutional right of civilians to possess firearms destined for shooting sports and arms collection."

The association made its way to public opinion after actively participating in the "referendum for unarmed Brazil", in 2005, with its campaign "NO". It has since been considered one of the principal civil rights movements in Brazil.

The current president of MVB is Dr. Bené Barbosa.
