The loss of Maurício Falavigna @maufalavigna represents an irreplaceable void for the digital activist community and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His commitment to democratizing access to technology and information was not limited to speeches—he pioneered public policies and community initiatives that expanded opportunities for thousands of people, especially in underserved areas.
As one of the key figures behind the creation of Brazil’s first telecenters, Maurício turned digital inclusion into a tool for citizenship and social empowerment. His work extended beyond technology, advocating for the use of the internet as a means of resistance, mobilization, and confronting structural inequalities.
His legacy will live on in the ongoing fight for a fairer and more equal society, inspiring new generations of activists, developers, and communicators who believe technology is a right, not a privilege. His impact resonates not only in public policies and the spaces he helped build but also in the heartfelt memories of friends, colleagues, and all those touched by his generosity, intelligence, and unwavering sense of purpose.
