Photographs by Jay Watts.

November 29, 2023 – the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People – saw over 20,000 people hit the streets of Mexico City, marching from the Angel of Independence to the Plaza de la Constitución, informally known as the Zócalo. The demonstration was the latest in a series of rallies that have taken place in Mexico City and throughout the country since the Israeli government began its brutal, illegal assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza last month.

Various social and political organizations participated, as well as students and a substantial number of trade unions, including the Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas and Sindicato de Trabajadores de la UNAM.
