Mexico: Indigenous rights activists plan protest march in downtown Mexico City from 15:00 Nov. 20
Indigenous rights demonstrators to march from Monumento a la Revolucion in Mexico City, Mexico, from 15:00 Nov. 20.
At least 5,000 members of the National Indigenous, Peasant, and Social Assembly (Asamblea Nacional Indígena, Campesina y Social, ANICS) will march in downtown Mexico City on Nov. 20 to demand that the government reform Article 27 of the Constitution. Participants will reportedly gather at Monumento a la Revolucion from 15:00 and march to an undisclosed location.
Authorities will likely monitor the march as a precaution and could disperse overly unruly crowds. Isolated clashes between activists and police cannot be ruled out, and associated localized transport disruptions are likely.
Avoid the protest march as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport disruptions. Heed all official directives.
