We are all responsible for society. Heavy to carry it? We prefer to think about the power of transformation that we can bring about. All of our attitudes impact, reverberate and encounter other human beings and nature. The well-known butterfly effect. But society is only possible because all, all and all of us are together, together and together in this. We have the ability to change racist patriarchal structures. It will take time, perhaps, but we cannot give up. Angela Davis said it well: the struggle is for life.
'Understand that you belong.' came about to provoke debate about our responsibility as part of a community. This phrase is a co-creation of PEITA with TETO Paraná ambassador Bárbara Campelli and architect Juliano Monteiro and was conceived to boost the 2018 fundraising campaign that built 100 homes in vulnerable communities in Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Bahia.
In 2020, we resumed the partnership during one of the most critical and sensitive periods in the country's history: the new coronavirus has already killed 112,304 people in Brazil alone, 792,475 worldwide (survey made by the consortium of press vehicles). The “This is not the new normal” campaign aims to raise BRL 800,000 to enable the construction of infrastructure projects to mitigate the effects of the pandemic in the favelas. The focus is on setting up water collection centers, modular bathrooms, community gardens, cafeterias and other projects that meet what is most urgent: access to water and basic sanitation, ensuring food security and community development.
With your help, PEITA will donate R$3 for each mask (both sentences) and for each chest “Understand that you belong. ” sold to TETO. The campaign runs until September 17th and you can also donate other amounts to Ambassador Badi's crowdfunding campaign , one of 50 throughout the country, in charge of the collection.
