To get what RSN has to offer, you have to be a part of it, you have to participate. That’s the key. It’s the participation that builds the social benefit.
RSN, it’s about doing something.

Excerpt: "From Tuesday night until early Wednesday morning, Chilean citizens took to the streets to support a pension-related bill and protest against President Sebastian Piñera."
During Tuesday night, in several cities of the country, citizens banged pots from their homes as a way to show their discontent. In the country's capital, massive protests were reported in neighborhoods such as Ñuñoa, Recoleta, Quinta Normal, Lo Prado, Quilicura, Huechuraba, Independencia, Maipu, Estacion Central, and Cerro Navia.
In these places, the curfew and the threat of police brutality did not prevent citizens from taking to the streets to build barricades with cardboard and pieces of wood.
