Mexico City braces for a day of protests on February 7

Mexico City will see multiple demonstrations on Saturday, February 7. Different groups will gather across the city to voice concerns over social, political, and economic issues. The events include a march against imperialism, a meeting of Indigenous artisans, and a rehearsal for a religious event next year.

The day will begin early with the Triqui Indigenous Artisans Union assembling at 9:00 AM in the Historic Center. Their goal is to demand a meeting with Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum regarding the sale of their traditional crafts.

At 10:00 AM, Evangelical Christian leaders will meet at the Revolution Monument. They will hold rehearsals for the 'March for Jesus 2026,' which is set to take place on April 4 in the Zócalo.

Twenty minutes later, the Aztlán Collective will gather at Insurgentes Metro station. From there, they will join the 'One, Two, Three for Me and All Our Latin America' march. This demonstration, organized by the Broad Anti-Imperialist Front, will start at 11:00 AM at the Angel of Independence and finish at the Zócalo. The march aims to defend sovereignty and self-determination against imperialist aggression.

Meanwhile, at 10:30 AM, various groups will protest at the Juárez Hemicycle. Their focus will be on opposing globalising capitalism. Around the same time, members of the Vegan Resistance Collective will meet at the Alameda Central kiosk to share information about veganism.

The demonstrations reflect a long history of political activism in Mexico City. Indigenous groups, trade unions, feminists, and ecological movements have previously mobilised against US interventions, militarisation, and neoliberal policies.

The events on February 7 will bring together diverse voices in Mexico City. Indigenous artisans, religious leaders, anti-imperialist activists, and vegan advocates will each address their concerns in separate gatherings. The marches and meetings are expected to draw attention to ongoing social and political struggles in the region.
