Militar Police of São Paulo being violent in a pacific protest yesterday (June 13) ↘

joharvells:

I’m trying to make the world see what’s happening. The brazilian media keeps saying that people in protests are being violent, and this is one of the thousand videos that show how television and newspapers are clearly LYING. In this video, we’re just screaming “No violence! No violence!” (Sem violência! Sem violência) and suddenly, what happens? The police attack the people they should be protecting! The government is against us. We were in a pacific riot, just asking for 1) The bus and subway tickets to get a lower price, because the price at this moment is abusive and the service is not good enough and, 2) MORE IMPORTANT THATN THE PRICE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT, we’re fighting for the possibility of making protest, of being able, as a democracy, to fight about something we belive.
The police are being violent, abusive and it’s not letting the people of São Paulo to fight for what they believe. This looks like a ditactorship, not a democracy. Brazil was a ditactorship from 1964 to 1985. Are we in a ditactorship again? We’re not able to fight for what we believe? We can have free speech anymore? This is not the first protest we’re doing and it’s not gonna be the last. We’re in a free country, we HAVE to fight.

Please, this is important. Spread the world! Watch the video and reblog and show it to whoever you can! We brazilian, we citizen of São Paulo appreciate it!

About what’s going on in Brazil

There is this text going around tumblr saying Brazil is living under a dictatorial governament, that’s not true. We’re going thought a huge crisis at the moment, especially in São Paulo, and the governament in these areas along with the police is using extremely violent repression, which is A LOT like what our dictatorial governament did from 1964 from 1988. It is serious,it requires atention, and it is getting out of control in São Paulo. I just won’t go for saying we live in a dictorship, but we are in a situation that makes it feel like we are. Things are getting really terrifying in SP, inocent people are being seriously hurt and are being arrested. We’ll see where things will go from here, and what our president will say about all this (from now all we know is the position of the major of São Paulo city, Reinaldo Haddad, and State’s governor, Geraldo Alkmin, and we do not appreciate it)

"Rather than fighting for every woman’s right to feel beautiful, I would like to see the return of a kind of feminism that tells women and girls everywhere that maybe it’s all right not to be pretty and perfectly well behaved. That maybe women who are plain, or large, or old, or differently abled, or who simply don’t give a damn what they look like because they’re too busy saving the world or rearranging their sock drawer, have as much right to take up space as anyone else.

I think if we want to take care of the next generation of girls we should reassure them that power, strength and character are more important than beauty and always will be, and that even if they aren’t thin and pretty, they are still worthy of respect. That feeling is the birthright of men everywhere. It’s about time we claimed it for ourselves."
