Let's Change
Vamos Mudar (lit. Let's Change) is a space for online and face-to-face participation conceived by Frente Povo Sem Medo, a group of civil society organizations, intelectuals, and Brazilian activists. This initiative consists of the implementation of a series of debates where grassroots movements set a political agenda. These instances of discussion are carried out with the aim of listening to the proposals of citizens and the opinions of experts in the fields of democratization of the economy, politics and power, culture and communication, territories and the environment, and the inclusion of minority groups. For the implementation of the initiative, Vamos Mudar created spaces that allowed citizens to contribute by designing and supporting existing proposals in 7 cities of the country. Besides, this participatory innovation also had a digital platform where ideas and solutions could be discussed.
