Rubble left over from breaking down walls in the building to make additional passages. These families having been occupying buildings for quite a long time in Rio de Janeiro. Some of them have been moving around for years while others have just now had to hold space to have a shelter for themselves and their children. Due to the rampant gentrification that's been spreading through Rio in the wake of the World Cup and the up coming Olympics many have been shoved to the edge financially and have been forced out through rising rents or being evicted by the Brazilian Military Police. They are occupying these buildings to use them as a bargaining tool with the city government. These buildings are all in desirable areas for development so the families are hoping that they can argue their case for social assistance by holding these spaces. They know the city wants to be able to demolish and sell the land the building are on to developers that are gentrifying Rio de Janeiro. By holding these spaces they effectively holding on to something the city wants and they believe they can use that as a bargaining tool to get more social assistance. Many were promised money when they left the favelas. The vast majority have not received the money or have had the city government try to divide them so that only some will get the money. The families have stuck together and have refused partial payments because they believe that the government will with hold the rest of the payments to the other families. After refusing payments the state and city of Rio de Janeiro has reacted violently and evicted them from various other occupations. Most of the evictions are either dawn or midnight raids with tear gas and rubber bullets being shot at the occupations or those dwelling inside the occupations. The families currently occupying the Planatu hotel and the FIST occupation say they will continue to resist the attacks of the Brazilian Military Police. Many of the members of both occupations

On Monday, April 6th of 2009, a powerful earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale shook the central Italian city of L’Aquila and its surrounding villages. This great tremor took the lives of 309 people and left around 67,000 people homeless, more than 90% of the total affected population. At 3:32 am, in less than 20 seconds, the Aquilani saw their everyday life reduced to rubble, and the outline of their city completely blurred. In addition to its natural surroundings, L’Aquila is visited and renowned for being the fifth Italian city in artistic heritage. One year after the earthquake, the vitality and solidarity that was awoken by this tragedy began to dissipate. Having overcome basic issues, the impetus and enthusiasm for the revitalization of the city began to dwindle while the reconstruction funds for the historical downtown of the city did not arrive. At present, the historical downtown area continues to be a ghost town, partially cordoned off, in which a good part of the buildings are shored and there are practically no open businesses. The majority of the survivors had to reestablish themselves in containers or in some of the business areas outside. The city was completely dismantled, and the social and economic life entered a deep coma. Dozens of cranes fill the skyline at the heart of L’Aquila, and the only signs of life that can be perceived during the day are the hundreds of workers from all over Italy that work on the much awaited restoration. Reconstruction finally began five years after the disaster, delayed by cases of corruption and mismanagement of money. The area most impacted by the quake, and where the reconstruction projects have been concentrated, has been closed off due to a high risk of collapse and labeled as the red zone. This includes the historical downtown of L’Aquila, with some of its more emblematic buildings, as well as the village of Onna. Onna was the hardest hit area of the quake, where 40 lives were taken and was left practi
