Hello you all
As I suppose you know, Brazil is waking up. Last week has been quite intense and different. All began with a quite classical protest againts the increasing of the transport fee in São Paulo. The media manipulation around the protest and the use of tear gas and the brutal repression transformed this in a national affair. A lot of cities in Brazil started protesting about public transport. But the most interesting is that networks connected other questions and people began reclaiming about everything. Againts world cup. Health. Education. Violence. Civic rights. Mass media, as It happened in Turkey, almost ignored the revolution. And social media is on fire. I had never seen anything like this in Brazil. I don´t know if we can speak yet about a Brazilian Spring, but we are near.
In some way, last year has been a networked year in Brazil, people doing things beyond old structures, from the netwoks to the streets.
I have published a text in SPanish (in Eldiario.es) about this
At the moment, I dont see many texts in English speaking what is happening. Just violence, and riots.
So, please, keep an eye on it and help divulgating. Some hashtags that are working:
#passelivre
#OGiganteAcordou
#PrimaveraBrasileira
#CopaPraQuem
#OcupaCopa
#17J
#RevogueoAumento
#BrazilianSpring
In fact, we are looking for a new one. Feel free to use others.
We will have the html codes of the streaming. If you want to use it, just tell me
Best!
#OccupyEverything
