The sixth research report from the Repository of Civil Society Initiatives against the Pandemic, authored by Anthony Toscano Tubbs, highlights that the impacts of expanding interactions in digital media bring new scenarios, problems and paradigms to be faced.
The COVID-19 pandemic expanded the uses of digital technologies and, at least for a period, they became the only possible channel of interaction for some social, economic and political dynamics. In this context, platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and 4chan were flooded with social and political mobilizations of scientific denialists. At the same time, scientists sought in these spaces ways to present actions to combat this misinformation. This report seeks to look at these science activists.

The fifth research report of the Repository of Civil Society Initiatives against the Pandemic, authored by Mariana Fonseca, presents an analysis of the mobilizations carried out in urban peripheries during the pandemic, especially those focused on peripheral communication. The report is mainly based on data systematized in this Repository and collected between March 2020 and December 2021. The objective is to explain the variety of practices and forms of action developed by different social movements, collectives, or even new organizations created during the pandemic. In particular, the initiatives carried out by communication and/or cultural collectives from the periphery, which demonstrate that the production of quality and reliable information in the pandemic were fundamental actions.

The fourth research report from the Repository of Civil Society Initiatives Against the Pandemic, authored by Ananda Cruz, presents an analysis of the importance of indigenous digital activism during the pandemic. More specifically, it analyzes the #vaccinaparente campaign, launched in January 2021 by the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). The campaign integrates the actions of the Indigenous Emergency plan, which aims to develop political, judicial and communication actions. Three communication strategies are used to publicize the campaign on APIB's Instagram page: the first is to inform the general public about the vaccine issue; the second is specifically aimed at the indigenous audience; and the third is criticism of political authorities for managing the pandemic.

The third research report from the Repository of Civil Society Initiatives against the Pandemic deals with the impacts of the pandemic on pressure on the federal legislature. Faced with the need for social isolation and following the trend of most countries, parliament closed its doors and, to continue functioning amid the pandemic, adopted remote sessions and deliberation. At the same time that these acts enabled the construction of solutions for the remote deliberation of bills, they ended up affecting the participation of civil society in parliamentary debates. This Report examines the use of digital media as a pressure mechanism against the federal legislature, for example through online petitions, both to pass laws, as in the case of emergency aid, and to encourage the legislature to act, as in the requests for postponement of ENEM.

The second research report from the Repository of Civil Society Initiatives Against the Pandemic addresses the impacts of the pandemic on digital activism. The author argues that there is a digital shift in the performance of civil society organizations. In part, this is due to the simple fact that actors use digital resources more. More important than that, however, is that there is a deeper process of transformation, shown in this Report through examples of diversification, adaptation and building bridges between the face-to-face and digital arenas. This transformation is incipient and highly uneven, but the Report shows that the perception of civil society actors about the potential of digital activism has changed in the context of the pandemic, especially in the case of those actors who have had to face the obstacles of digital exclusion and digital literacy. .
