Residents of Pinheirinho in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, girded for battle to defend their neighborhood against riot cops coming with a court order to evict them today. Brazil is an immensely rich country with millions of homeless children. Hopefully, such determination will not stop in the streets of Pinheirinho but will go all the way to the oligarch's estates.
