The non-partisan protest organizers are holding a new march on Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro to highlight the scandals rocking the government of President Dilma Rousseff.
An initial protest held in Brasilia on September 7, Brazil's Independence Day, gathered 30,000 people, many of them wearing red clown noses.
Cristian Maza, one of the movement founders, said that the web initiative calling for the protests "snowballed" after she and friends copied messages seen on Facebook and repeated them on their own digital walls.
Thirty thousand people have already signed on to say they will attend the Rio rally.
"Several demonstrations are being organized. We hope that will make things change," said Maza, a 37-year-old shopkeeper. "This won't be fixed with just one march. The cry has to continue."
