Abstract
This article analyzes the public manifestos made among civil society during the first wave of Covid-19 in Brazil. Data collection took place between April and August 2020, and gathered a sample made up of documents in various formats, which were drawn up by a wide range of actors who voice very different ideas and themes. The data analysis allowed us to identify three important shifts: these actors reacted to the threats of the pandemic and de-democratization; they built frame bridges, which link various organizations and the traditional causes they fight for to the pandemic situation; and they articulated long-term agendas that point to a post-pandemic utopian future, which includes the construction of a new conception of democratic public solidarity that draws attention to the collective duty of public responsibility.
