⚠️ Heads up: Anti-Gentrification March Sunday, July 20 @3pm

An Anti-Gentrification Demonstration and March is scheduled for Sunday, July 20 @3pm. The participants will meet at Fuentes Brotantes de Tlalpan National Park in the Alcaldía of Tlalpan, south of the city. They will march north through the city.

If you're in town on that day, expect some possible disturbances and avoid the demonstration.

Side note: Tlalpan is the headquarters of the Morena Party and home to President Claudia Sheinbaum and previous president AMLO. It's possible that this demonstration could gain a lot of traction.

"Mexico City is preparing for a new mobilization against gentrification. This time, the announced route will be in the south of the capital, and the call is open to "the entire city."

This march will be the second protest organized against the phenomenon of gentrification, which has generated growing tensions in the capital due to rising housing costs, the massive influx of wealthy foreigners, and the displacement of traditional communities.

The protest seeks to highlight the impact of real estate speculation, vertical development, and platforms like Airbnb in popular areas of the city. Although there has been no official confirmation from the authorities, the organizers insist the demonstration will be peaceful and cultural." -PubliMETRO
