CONT

Nous sommes un réseau activiste et anticapitaliste transnational, qui utilise la samba comme mode d'action politique. Nous utilisons la frivolité tactique, inspirée du carnaval, pour affronter et critiquer les systèmes de domination et soutenir directement [tous ceux et celles] qui luttent contre l'exploitation, la discrimination, et l'oppression.
