Unrelated Quotes, Part 5.

Categorized under Globalización , Oaxaca , Protesta , Unrelated Quotes | Tags: , , , ,


The media and the public eye tend to focus on the actual act of the protest and not the content of it. I think we need to put the issues in people's hands because then you get a chain reaction of accountability happening. If people get angry enough they will...
