The Freedom March in Cuiabá is part of a wave of protest in network that took part in 48 cities of Brazil in June 18th of 2011. Its spark was the Police repression to the Marijuana March in Sao Paulo, in may of that year. Is part of a international protest cycle that includes Occupy Wall Street, the Indignades in Spain, the Arab Spring among others. Somehow it has antecipated the cycle of mobilizations in June 2013 in Brazil. In this work I analyse the experience of the Freedom March participants in Cuiabá to understand how the political happening, as a conflict collective action, is built and manifest in the subjectivity and cements the feeling of belonging to the collective. I also analyse the roll of digital networks to the mobilization, the leadership dynamics, the mobilization spontaneity and the diversity of causes presented by the protesters. I return to the historical debate in previous cycles to answer the research question and get to the conclusion that the Freedom March has specific characteristics that makes it and collective action iconic of the contemporary world, with a tracing suited to what the theorists call post-modernity.
