Abstract

A member of La Garganta Poderosa magazine, one of the main popular communication initiatives in Argentina and Latin America, Fidel Ruiz tells how this community journalism vehicle was born, at Villa Zavaleta, in Buenos Aires. He talks about residents’ empowerment and achievements based on the credibility gained by the magazine, which today, also through a space on TV, denounces police violence, the failings of the State and many other issues experienced by the popular communities of that country. The activist also speaks about the importance of integrating popular Latin American sectors that are experiencing the same problems and are recognized for their eternal resistance.
