Pressure Pot
Panela de Pressão (lit. Pressure Pot) is a website created in 2012 by Rede Nossas Cidades (lit. Our Cities Network), a political mobilization group present in 10 Brazilian cities: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, João Pessoa, Recife, Campinas, Blumenau, Garopaba, Ouro Preto, Porto Alegre and Curitiba. Through the website, citizens can create local political pressure campaigns through various ICT tools such as e-mails and web applications (Facebook, Twitter) or over the telephone which are directly aimed at the political decision maker, such as a deputy, councilor, mayor, secretary, etc., without the need for mediation. The citizen who creates the campaign is responsible for managing and promoting it. If the individual demand converges with criteria selected by the managers of the network, it may receive technical support. In January 2017, there were 500 registered demands, of which 98 were classified as ?Victorious".
