Jones Manoel (born January 9, 1990) is a Brazilian Marxist-Leninist and PCB militant.

Born in Pernambuco, Brazil, he began his militancy in the community of Borborema, a favela where he was born and grew up, helping establish popular educative courses called Novo Caminho ("New Way"). Jones Manoel, along with his two friends, were the first young people in Borborema's history to enter a public university.

After two years with the popular classes, he became a militant in the student movement, in parallel to his History graduation course at the Federal University of Pernambuco. Shortly after, he joined the ranks of PCB's youth-wing, UJC.

Active in the student movement until 2016, currently he works in the union movement and in popular education. He has a master's degree in Social Service, currently works as a History teacher, maintains a channel on YouTube with about 200,000 subscribers and participates in the Revolushow podcast.[1]

In December 2021, Jones Manoel announced that he would run as the governor of the state of Pernambuco for the 2022 bourgeois elections in Brazil.[2] Without support from bourgeois capital, he has been asking for support for his political campaign through individual donations in the Quero Apoiar platform. As of 13 June 2022, he has received R$9,840 in donations.[3] In his statement on the platform, he says:

Our radical, popular and socialist campaign needs your help. The big media, the businessmen, the mill owners, the bus companies and the like don't want the working people and the youth to know about the communist debate. They don't want to talk about agrarian reform, nationalization of public transportation, combat against all oppressions, universalization of rights, real defense of public services, valorization of popular culture, etc. They want a campaign enclosed in the bourgeois debate.[3]
