Organizations that mobilized last weekend's protests against President Jair Bolsonaro's government are calling for new protests for next Sunday (14) in several cities.

The movement Somos Democracia (We Are Democracy), which brings together members of organized supporters of football teams, the MTST (Homeless Workers Movement), and the Popular Movements Center (CMP), confirmed June 14 protests on Monday (8).

The organization made the decisionn despite criticism of large gatherings in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, which contradicts medical guidelines to only break the rules of social distance in case of extreme need.
