Good morning and happy Friday! Here are the links to the four newsletters we published this week: 

  • Monday - Mexico - Femicide in Monterrey sparks outrage

  • Tuesday - Region - Measuring what matters at the Summit of the Americas

  • Wednesday - Politics and Polls (Mexico, Chile and Colombia)

  • Thursday - Brazil - Bolsonaro's feud with the STF

Thanks to everyone who supports this newsletter. As you’ll see below, we are holding a public event with our colleagues at Colombia Risk Analysis at 12pm ET on May 30, the day after Colombia’s first round, to discuss the country’s presidential election. We invite you to register and circulate the event information to anyone else in your networks who might be interested.
