Corporate media tries to spin otherwise, but the #brazil organizers are the Free Transit Movement

NYTimes.com: "The Free Fare Movement was created in 2005, at a meeting in Pôrto Alegre, a southern city. Ms. Vivian, who is now 23, helped organize the event, which drew about 200 activists from around the country. Under a large tent at a campsite in a park, activists came up with a logo: a crude drawing of a stick figure kicking over a bus turnstile.

...Without the organizing grunt work over the years, she and others said, the stage for the current wave of protests would not have been set."
