This dissertation is the result of qualitative research that aimed to analyze how collective action is mobilized in the urban suburb to achieve rights and access to public services, verifying its configurations during the period of health restrictions with the Covid-19 pandemic, and of political restrictions with the weakening of spaces for institutional participation in municipal governments from 2013 to 2022. The analytical categories used were their repertoires of action, their networks of relationships and in the frames of collective action in a conciliatory dialogue between the Theory of the Contentious Politics and the Theory of New Social Movements from the perspective of relational sociology. The study was carried out in a suburban territory located predominantly in the hills in a central region of Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo, called Território do Bem. Using the snowball technique, we identified a dense network of people composed of a diversity of organizations who act in defense of the Território's interests, share common problems and activate a combination of traditional action repertoires with innovations built in interactive processes. Police violence is the predominant topic of protests, which gain new performances with the spread of social networks. In a context of weakening spaces for popular participation in public management since 2013, the policy of proximity to agents with greater power of influence, such as the Public Defender's Office, predominates. The absence of the State in the suburb is especially denounced by a repertoire that is consolidated in the collective action of this territory: social management. Actions previously undertaken under the sign of charity are now politicized and given new meanings, as is solidarity action, a repertoire activated during the pandemic period. We verified, therefore, that the context of restrictions does not immobilize collective action in the urban suburb, but leads to new configurations and creative performances.
