This philosophy is systematized in the organization's motto: Open Political Unity for a New Majority (Portuguese: Unidade aberta por uma nova maioria), which means the formation of a broad political field capable of consolidating itself as a real alternative for the emancipation of the Brazilian people against a political regime built by the "Casa Grande" (The dominant minority).

The Popular Brigades seek a militancy of a territorial characteristic, organizing different social groups from the needs of daily life, especially in the peripheries.
