On the morning of Tuesday, June 9, 2026, activists from Amnesty International and Greenpeace climbed the Estela de Luz monument in Mexico City to hang a banner reading, “This is also at stake.” <\/p>\n
The group of eight activists used this bold move to highlight urgent issues including human rights, migration, environmental justice, disappearances, and gun control. Their messages included powerful slogans such as:
\n– “Migration with dignity”
\n– “Resisting peoples”
\n– “Environmental justice”
\n– “Justice for the disappeared”
\n– “Stop the guns” <\/p>\n
Despite the protest, authorities reported no road closures or traffic disruptions around the monument, allowing normal circulation in the area. <\/p>\n
