The theme chosen refers to new social movements which appeared as forms of resistance to the globalization process in local public environments, especially in the city of Rio Grande/RS, in the so-called portuary expansion zone. In this present paper, the importance of these urban movements as transforming agents of these social realities will be analyzed, given the inefficiency of the state power to propose alternatives which aim at recuperating the dignity and the citizenship of communities found under the power of the capitalist system.
