Acordem e Progresso

Acordem e progresso. Sim, acordem para a realidade que se mostra tão clara e desfavorável aos avanços, ao progresso dos direitos e do desenvolvimento do país.

Como usufruir o direito da liberdade de expressão quando todos os maiores jornais e redes de comunicação no Brasil estão em mãos de poucas famílias? Por certo, muito complicado, mas viva a internet e a I Conferência Nacional de Comunicação.

Acordar para a mudança, ela é possível e iminente.

Don’t Let It Happen Here
by Charles Mingus

One day they came and they took the communists,
And I said nothing because I was not a communist.

Then one day they came and they took the people of the Jewish faith,
And I said nothing because I was had no faith. Left.

One day they came and they took the unionists,
And I said nothing because I was not a unionist.

One day they burned down the Catholic churches.
And I said nothing because I was born a Protestant.

Then one day they came and they took me.
And I could say nothing because I was guilty as they were,

For
not  speaking out
……. and saying that
all men have a
right to freedom
