The document summarizes protests that took place in Brazil in June 2013. It began as a protest against a small increase in public transportation fares but grew into a larger nationwide movement expressing frustration with corruption, poor public services, and the high costs of hosting the World Cup. Protesters ranging from young people to others from all walks of life took to the streets in cities across Brazil to call for improvements to healthcare, education, and other issues. Social media was used to help organize and spread information about the growing protests.

2. 20 cents has sparked a revolution

Brazil is in revolt. What started as a
protest about a R$0.20 rise in bus fares
has turned into a mass nationwide
movement .

4. Over a million people took the streets

5. http://www.redpepper.org.uk/brazil-the-giant-has-awoken/
In a country often seen as politically
passive, a silent majority was finding its
voice. Until now they discussed these
problems individually with resignation,
saying ‘that’s just the way Brazil is’. Now
they are demanding change.

6. The giant has awoken!

7. http://www.redpepper.org.uk/brazil-the-giant-has-awoken/
The participants were predominantly
young, but the movement resonates far
beyond them.
Events are moving fast with protests
growing and spreading to new cities each
day, and it is far from clear when or how it
will end.

8. But it’s not just about 20 cents

9. "“Their bright banners bore diverse demands”
says Julia Carneiro from BBC Brasil ”but all
reflected a fatigue with what people
here get from the state.
I repeatedly heard the word “tired”: protesters
told me they were tired of corruption, of
nepotism, of high taxes paid for
poor public services."

and are not worrying about the situation
of their own people."

16. For Better Public Health Care

17. For Better Public Education

18. “The people have woken up. The bus fare hike
was just the moment of awakening. Now we are
fighting for better health care,
security and education.
We are tired man, this is the time to fight.
Enough injustice,” said one protester draped in a
Brazilian flag, Leandro Pergula.”
