On Wednesday, April 1st, Mexico City faces a day with multiple social mobilizations led by unions, collectives, and civil organizations, who will take to the streets to demand better working conditions, social rights, and changes in public policies.
According to the mobilization schedule, protests will be mainly concentrated in boroughs such as Cuauhtémoc, Coyoacán, Miguel Hidalgo, Iztacalco, and Cuajimalpa, with possible disruptions on key roadways.
Transport and labor conditions among the main demands
One of the most significant movements of the day will be led by the Mexico City Passengers Transport Workers' Union, which will gather at 11:00 AM at the First Labor Court for Collective Affairs.
Among their main demands are a salary increase and better labor benefits for both operational and administrative staff. They also seek to highlight the current state of various public transport units, which they claim are out of service due to a lack of maintenance.
In the same labor context, the National Front for the 40-Hour Workday will hold activities at 4:00 PM near the General Anaya Metro station, where they will hold a press conference to denounce alleged police aggressions during recent protests and reiterate their demand to reduce the workday in Mexico.
Cannabis, public space, and social causes
In another front, collectives such as 'Platform 4:20' and 'Daughters of Cannabis' will also be present in the capital with activities scheduled at points like the Mother's Monument, Tlaxcoaque Square, and the Juárez Hemicycle.
These groups are pushing for demands related to cannabis regulation, respect for self-cultivation, and the creation of safe consumption spaces, in addition to holding cultural activities and informational tables.
Meanwhile, residents of the Miguel Hidalgo borough will demonstrate in defense of Parque Lira, rejecting projects they claim could affect public access and the environment of the area.
Similarly, social organizations also continue to advocate for other active demands, such as access to housing and the release of political prisoners, reflecting the diversity of causes converging on this Wednesday.
