Act (Brazil)

Agir (, lit.'Act') is a political party in Brazil, established in 1985. It was founded as the Youth Party (Portuguese: Partido da Juventude; PJ), and was renamed the National Reconstruction Party (Portuguese: Partido da Reconstrução Nacional, PRN) in 1989, and the Christian Labor Party (Portuguese: Partido Trabalhista Cristão, PTC) in 2000. The party was renamed Agir in 2021, a change ratified by the Superior Electoral Court the following year.

As the National Reconstruction Party, it had the first president chosen through direct elections after the end of Brazil's military dictatorship, Fernando Collor de Mello along with a bloc of 40 federal deputies and 2 senators in 1990. However, the impeachment of Fernando Collor in 1992 had a devastating effect on the party's image, and the PRN lost the majority of its deputies, along with members and electorate. In 2000, the party attempted a rebranding process, changing its name to the Christian Labor Party (PTC) and declaring itself aligned with Christian democracy. Nevertheless, it maintained a limited presence in the national electoral arena. In 2023, after renaming to Agir, the party ideologically restructured itself to focus on promoting the rights and well-being of autistic people.
