ElaPod #02E06 - Iza Lourença e Karen Santos: Tarifa zero

In this sixth episode of the second season, Fran Rodrigues and Manuela D'Ávila welcome Iza Lourença, councilwoman of Belo Horizonte, and Karen Santos, councilwoman of Porto Alegre, for a conversation about zero-fare public transportation. More than just an urban mobility issue, zero-fare is about income distribution and the right to the city – about who can and cannot move freely through public spaces. They recount how the cause went from being a "crazy idea" in 2013 to becoming a concrete and viable proposal, supported by social movements, and defend political imagination as an act: the right to dream – and build – other possible realities. On ElaPod, pioneering and innovative women who have occupied and continue to occupy positions of power sit down to talk not only about why they want to change politics, but about how politics has changed each of them.
