GO: Goiânia Support Committee successfully sells and promotes AND
On the evening of 25 July, members of the Support Committee of the newspaper "A Nova Democracia" from the city of Goiânia (Goiás) carried out an action for the sale and distribution of the newspaper in the building of the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in the eastern sector of the university.
Issue No. 248 was sold and issues No. 246 and 247 were distributed free of charge, in addition to the exhibition of some Editora Seara Vermelha productions for sale. In the sales area and during the distribution of the last issues, the receptiveness and interest of most of the students who came by was remarkable. Many wanted to learn more about the newspaper and contribute to the press by buying a copy; occasionally, members of the support committee took the opportunity to explain the A Nova Democracia newspaper website and its daily updated content to those interested.
In addition to the campaign, the Support Committee hung issues 246 and 247 on notice boards distributed throughout the campus and gave the copies to those interested in AND to take for free. Many walked past these boards with interest and several copies were pulled from the shelves by students within minutes, showing a willingness to seek news with the delineation of an authentically democratic position.
The activity went as planned and the participants assessed that they had successfully achieved the goal of spreading the popular and democratic press among the students of the UFG, contributing to the dissemination of the current popular struggles in Brazil and in the world and showing the way to go.
