Mexico City Indigenous Nahuatl campesinos, or small farmers, erect a planton, or encampment, and demonstrate every day on the Reforma in downtown Mexico City. The farmers come from the "Four Hundred Towns," a rural area in Veracruz, and are protesting displacement from their lands, a prime reason for the migration of people to the United States. A woman sits in the tents and shelters where the protesters live. |
