Even though online activism has been growing a lot for the past couple of years, recent times saw waves of protests on the streets all over the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Arab spring, the 2013 June journeys, or the Confederations Cup riots in Brazil, the independentist movement in Catalunya, and the Hong Kong protests are just some of the examples. These movements have in common the combination of online and offline activism, displaying several tactics and actions when fighting for their causes, however making use, especially, of massive and constant protests on the street. These agglomerations are the main image media brought out of these protests, combined with the violent repression from the police and authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, in 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/advice-for-public\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WHO orientation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is so that people should avoid crowded places and maintain at least one meter of physical distance from others to reduce the chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19. This recommendation, however, has continuously been ignored by many in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since March, at the beginning of the pandemic, Brazilians have gathered in protests constantly, and with different motivations. Bolsonaro\u2019s supporters have been organizing<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brasil.elpais.com\/sociedade\/2020-03-27\/por-retorno-ao-trabalho-grupos-de-direita-puxam-protestos-no-parana.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">anti-lockdown car protests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, claiming the need to keep the commerce open and against other restrictive measures like it happened in the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-52359100\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">USA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/world\/spain-coronavirus-protest-vox-1.5581965\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. At the same time,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brasil.elpais.com\/brasil\/2020-03-15\/bolsonaro-rompe-isolamento-e-endossa-atos-contra-congresso-em-meio-a-crise-do-coronavirus.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">acts against the national congress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have been organized in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, gathering thousands on the streets. The demonstrators have counted with the support of president Jair Bolsonaro, who, ignoring the medical orientation of isolation due to a suspicion of infection, went to the acts to take selfies and salute the protesters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnnbrasil.com.br\/nacional\/2020\/05\/01\/enfermeiros-e-tecnicos-de-saude-homenageiam-colegas-que-morreram-por-covid-19\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Health professionals have also protested<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the past 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of May, workers\u2019 day, in Brasilia as a tribute to the colleagues who have died on duty during the pandemic. The protesters wore masks, medical coats and held crosses on their hands.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This past Sunday (31<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of May), however, the blockades of protesters supporting and rejecting Bolsonaro\u2019s government, gained new momentum. Brasilia had a pro-Bolsonaro demonstration, as it has lately been happening every Sunday, counting with a ride-horsing and handshaking from Bolsonaro himself.\u00a0 S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte have had protests against and supporting the current president of Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In S\u00e3o Paulo, the protest pro-democracy, and against Bolsonaro, the military dictatorship and fascism, was led by several associations of football fans.\u00a0 It ended up having a violent confrontation between activists and the police.\u00a0 Apparently, it all started when Bolsonaro supporters holding fascist flags from European groups got closer to the other protesters,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rQcK6F5I4Eg&amp;feature=emb_logo\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">arousing them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brazil is now the second country with most people infected by the coronavirus and has<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/brazils-daily-coronavirus-death-toll-surpasses-that-of-u-s-11590578932\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recently<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> registered more than a thousand related deaths in a period of 24 hours. What could be the motives prompting citizens to risk their health amidst a pandemic?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is hard to precise it, but some cues might be on triggers coming from multilevel context influence. First, it is relevant to note, as I also said in a previous<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/envirolatam\/2020\/04\/20\/the-historical-and-current-issues-at-stake-during-covid-19-epidemic-in-brazil\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in this blog, that Bolsonaro\u2019s measures and responses to the pandemic have been polemic and heavily criticized internationally, but also domestically.\u00a0 As a consequence,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.folha.uol.com.br\/poder\/2020\/05\/rejeicao-a-bolsonaro-bate-recorde-mas-base-se-mantem-diz-datafolha.shtml\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the last poll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on the public opinion about Bolsonaro\u2019s government hit a rejection record. This news was celebrated by the opposition, which quickly put up an online campaign with the hashtag #somos70porcento (\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">we are 70%<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d), suggesting that most Brazilians are now against Bolsonaro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Second, the police in Rio de Janeiro have shot and killed a minor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.folha.uol.com.br\/internacional\/en\/brazil\/2020\/05\/14-year-old-boy-killed-at-home-during-federal-police-operation-in-rio.shtml\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">during confrontations with drug dealers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Locals are claiming there was no confrontation and more children were killed during the police operation that day. The pandemic has not stopped the violence in marginalized areas. A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/18\/world\/americas\/brazil-rio-police-violence.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recent analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> published by The New York Times shows the long history of police brutality in Rio. Moreover, poor and black people have been affected the most during the pandemic in Brazil. They have precarious access to health and sanitation, and are also severely impacted by the economic shrink that came as a consequence of the lockdown measures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hence, last Sunday protests in Rio had also an antiracist connotation. This feature is fueled by the historical and current violence against black and poor people in Rio, and in line with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/anti-racism-protests-spread-to-berlin-and-london\/a-53643710\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a series of other protests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> around the world following the United States anti-racist protests that sparkled due to George Floyd&#8217;s death. Floyd was a black man brutally killed by a white police officer after gasping for breath. The event was recorded and then widely spread online. The United States is seeing a wave of protests against racism that is comparable <\/span>to the ones that happened due to <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Martin Luther King\u2019s murder.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The timing could not be worse in terms of health risks for the activists. The urgency on the anti-racist protests in Brazil, however, has always been there. The number of infections and deaths due to coronavirus reflects the high social inequality present in Brazil. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apublica.org\/2020\/05\/em-duas-semanas-numero-de-negros-mortos-por-coronavirus-e-cinco-vezes-maior-no-brasil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Black and poor Brazilians are dying five times more than \u2018white\u2019 <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ones. <\/span>Also, the prompt motivations to resist and join struggles are usually encompassing risks, including death threats, especially in Latin America, where violence is common during protests and conflicts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for the pro-democracy protests, the timing and window of opportunity to push for more democracy and rights perhaps could not be better. With this new push, campaigners against Bolsonaro aim at impeaching him from duties. They are afraid that measures towards a military dictatorship are in course at the moment and are orchestrating countermoves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protests are thus likely to continue as lives will remain being lost due to the pandemic and violence in Brazil. The urgency to refrain the virus spread does not seem bigger than the urgency demonstrated by the activists last Sunday on the streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mariana G.
