Two days after Martinez was killed, a crowd gathered outside his home and carried his body across São Paulo toward the Araçá cemetery. Historian Joel Wolfe reports that about 2,000 people, mostly women, assembled at 7 a.m. The procession made mourning public and strengthened solidarity among workers facing repression. Women’s visible role challenges accounts that treat the labor movement as exclusively male.
