On 8 December 1880, the Sociedade Cearense Libertadora was inaugurated in Fortaleza. Emerging from the earlier association Perseverança e Porvir, it helped organize campaigns across Ceará, including fundraising, public meetings, journalism, and the securing of freedom documents. Its membership initially drew heavily from local commercial and professional elites; the campaign’s course also depended on Black workers, enslaved people, women, jangadeiros, and other popular participants whose actions challenged the slave system directly.
