Dear all,

thank You so much for undersigning the Open Letter to Brazilians President Dilma Rousseff in support of the work of the Brazilian society and government for the cultural commons!

It took us some time (actually our whole stay in Dakar at the World Social Forum) to craft the letter, to collect first signatures (yours) and to prepare the launch. Therefore, sorry for the delay in responding your mails and requests.

But now the petition is online and can be signed by everybody: http://www.petitiononline.com/CSGFeb11/petition.html

Thanks for spreading the link on your blogs, websites and mailing lists!

As for the launch to international and Brazilian Media, last Friday we had the wonderful opportunity to join the Assembly for Communication at the WSF.
