Social Movements in Mexico City

23 Mexico City

Indigenous Nahuatl campesinos, or small farmers, demonstrate every day on the Reforma in downtown Mexico City by taking off their clothes. The farmers come from the "Four Hundred Towns," a rural area in Veracruz. Their use of nudity is a form of protest over their displacement from their lands, a prime reason for the migration of people to the United States.
