…. HUMAN RIGHTS ….
Post from email of Glêner Piantino on 25 September.
If it is the role of a city councilor to create municipal laws, what is the role of a co-councilor? According to co-councilor Myrian Castello – from the Coletiva Semear São Lourenço – PV, it is to go further and create something greater in the sense of a federal law. On September 24, the co-founder of the NGO Fábrica dos Sonhos had her constitutional amendment bill approved by the Special Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, in Brasília, DF.
Entitled “Right to Dream”, the project proposes to include this right as a constitutional amendment, grounded on the legal foundations of the articles of the Federal Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, all of which defend the right to full freedom of thought.
Widely accepted and approved in its legitimate proposal, the project argues for bringing the dream to the center of the legal, political, and social debate as a public policy, in the face of a context of social inequality, intolerance, discrimination, prejudice, and violations of human rights within the political and economic scenarios we live in.
More than an abstract concept, Myrian Castello’s initiative was thorough and incisive in justifying the right of underprivileged classes to achieve the dream of a better future, with new opportunities and real improvements in life.

In her speech, Myrian emphasized:
“Our project is a concrete proposal for social transformation. No one should take away from us the power to dream. We have presented an unprecedented bill to make the right to dream a fundamental human right in Brazil. Every human being,” she continued, “regardless of race, gender, age, or place, has the right to dream, imagine, and create realities based on ethics and love. When we defend the right to dream, we are defending what is most precious in human freedom: the possibility to imagine futures, to escape oppression, and to propose new ways of living,” she concluded.
Fábrica dos Sonhos is a Civil Society Organization (CSO), multidisciplinary, non-profit, and active in several social fronts. Its projects include education and citizenship, entrepreneurship and income generation, empowerment of youth and women, environment, sustainability, and community culture. Currently, the NGO carries out extensive activities in the municipality of São Lourenço, under the coordination of Alessandra Mattos Ferreira, the current executive secretary of the organization.
Myrian Castello is also a co-parliamentarian of the Coletiva Semear-PV candidacy of São Lourenço, represented by councilor Herbert Santo de Lima and also integrated by co-councilors Demian Mendes Lage and Theo Bajgielman Ayres.
“The project is the first known record in Minas Gerais — and the first in São Lourenço — of a proposal born within a local NGO being accepted by the Chamber of Deputies to proceed as a Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC).”
(Based on Art. 60 of the Federal Constitution and official records of the Chamber for SUG 3/2022 – Fábrica dos Sonhos.)
