idea: But a handful of new organizations are trying to channel that anger into reinvigorating the country's democracy by luring fresh faces into a political establishment widely seen as closed off and unrepresentative, according to CTV.

Acredito and another group called Agora! hope to each field about 30 candidates in next year's elections who have never held office before. Their efforts focus on state and federal legislatures. They're asking people across the country to help create their platforms by suggesting solutions to Brazil's thorniest issues inequality, crime, failing schools and an aging population with a faltering social security system.
