We at the GRASS ORGANIZATION MOVEMENT remember with pride one of the biggest
uprisings in the country's recent history. ---- Having as one of its main flagspublic transport, accessible and of quality, an agenda so dear to the communitystruggle. To this fight, many other agendas were added, such as the fight againstthe criminalization of poverty and police violence that falls mainly on black,poor and peripheral youth throughout the Brazilian State: we will not forgetAMARILDO, RAFAEL BRAGA and many and many others. ---- It is also important toremember the deterioration of the gains and rights of the Brazilian workingclass, allied to the historical precariousness of public services while megaworks were being promoted - Belo Monte and Jirau - and international events suchas the World Cup and the Olympics were building a discourse of turn to the listof developed countries - the famous "never before in the history of this country".This entire situation that took place before the June days can be seen in thehistorical series of wildcat strikes, demonstrations, student occupations andvarious social struggles for more rights that spread across the country.To all these processes of struggle and many others that were added to them, theresponse of governments, both at the state, municipal and federal levels, wasbrutal repression, which marked the memory and bodies of many protesters as partof the left. official and bureaucratic refused to participate in popularstruggles, with the people and their forms of struggle for fear of losing controlover struggles and organizations.Favelas and peripheries would be the first to suffer the response of Stateterrorism for rebelling, but not the only ones. The army with the National Forcewent into action, in order to pacify these territories and allow the "normality"necessary for the World Cup to take place, attacking all those who started tofight. At the same time, we saw the political persecution of several militants,being arrested and prosecuted in different parts of the country. Thus, animportant struggle against the criminalization of social movements ensued.Among important achievements and critical balances, we can say that June 2013represented the popular revolt resulting from the loss of social rights and theadvance of state brutality against the poorest, and that the inability of theleft to channel this revolt towards a political project supported by grassrootspopular organization, unfortunately, the movement went into ebb and, in the faceof state repression and criminalization by the hegemonic media, ended up beingsuppressed. Lying and defaming the memory of this historic struggle only servesthose who, out of fear or for convenience, do not want to see the protagonism ofthe people in struggle.However, even though much of the forms and contents of this popular revolt haverecovered, it is important to emphasize that the June Days left as a politicallandmark the lesson of the ability of the oppressed classes to act aroundhorizontal, autonomous and direct forms of action as well as the viability ofprojects that reinforce the idea of more humane and democratic cities, such asthe Zero Tariff issue and the Right to the City, now implemented in more than 70cities across the country and guided nationally by a varied political spectrum.Thus, the setbacks we have experienced in recent years, far from having "begun inJune 2013", were actually caused by insufficient resistance and popularorganization, so that just by resuming the base and struggle character of theproject popular political challenge is that it will be possible to resist the newsetbacks we are going through and guarantee any right.FIGHT, CREATE PEOPLE POWER!https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=284332970843923&set=a.172030445407510_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
