“We're in a dictatorship; we're in the streets because we want a return to democracy. We want elections now. There's no trust anymore. We're the majority in this country; we won't allow them to treat us like this.” -Segundina Orellana, coca grower leader wapo.st/3gPGIcN

In Bolivia, an Indigenous and worker-led general strike is on day 11 of demonstrations sparked by the government's repeated postponement of the presidential election. "Almost all of the key highways have roadblocks … bringing the country to a standstill," says @OVargas52.

This is an incredibly powerful expose on crimes of Áñez govt, far-right & racists surrounding #Bolivia coup into today. Based on hundreds of interviews, it's a chilling account of targeted attacks on Indigenous people, progressive journalists, activists./1 hrp.law.harvard.edu/press-releases…

As more people call to 'defund the police' and replace it with community-based, transformative justice, they may want to look at those who have been experimenting with self-organization, such Zapatistas in Chiapas. (via @demoAbierta) opendemocracy.net/en/democraciaa…

US President Trump's backing of Evo Morales' ouster & support for the right-wing interim govt. of Jeanine Añez in #Bolivia has come at a cost: corruption allegations overlooked, coca growers repressed & grave human rights abuses unaddressed. My story for @NACLA.

Back in March, Naomi Klein warned us of coronavirus capitalism as an example of another shock. This has been true in Ecuador. There has been new waves of protests countering these new economic measures. My first with @TowardFreedom
