Location: Major cities in Brazil
Event: Demonstrations are expected to take place in major cities across Brazil on Tuesday, September 7.

Actions to Take:
- Avoid the areas of the demonstrations.
- Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.
- Keep a low profile.
