This article explores an experience of converging activisms from the “No más AFP” movement, which demands the end of the current pension model in Chile, leading the public and daily debate. I argue that the outcome of the July 24, 2016, demonstration (24J) of this movement was possible when the primary, traditional type of activism in the movement converged with online, citizen-driven activism, which used social media as the primary tool for coordination. I discuss some features of the convergence of these activisms from a qualitative perspective, revealing challenges and learnings gained from this case, exposing a piece of this social movement that is usually eclipsed, which has significantly contributed to its widespread growth in Chilean society.
