Rede Nossas Cidades

The Rede Nossas Cidades (RNC) is an autonomous network of organizations coordinated by NOSSAS. Through mobilization and the use of civic technologies, these organizations influence local public policies. Created in 2014, the RNC was born from the expansion of the Meu Rio model to other regions.

With the first edition of the Founders Program, young leaders from Recife, São Paulo, Campinas, Blumenau, Porto Alegre, and Garopaba came together to exchange tools, tactics, and activist methodologies. Today, the network brings together 10 initiatives across cities in the North, Northeast, and Southeast of Brazil, with around 400,000 activists in their communities.

The organizations in the RNC run advocacy campaigns targeting decision-makers, promote solidarity actions, and organize mobilizations both online and on the streets—expanding citizen participation in local politics.

The Rede Nossas Cidades includes: Meu Rio, Minha Sampa, Meu Recife, Minha Campinas, Minha Jampa, Minha Manaus, Minha BH, Instituto Pólis, Palmares Laboratório-Ação, and Instituto Mapinguari.
