Hey there, folks! So, here’s the latest scoop straight outta San Miguel de Allende—our friendly neighborhood Americans are making a bit of noise!
Recently, a bunch of U.S. citizens living here in our charming town gathered to protest against the notorious Donald Trump, coinciding with his birthday and a national day of protest called “No Kings Day.” They organized this shindig right outside the U.S. consulate at Plaza La Luciernaga, waving their signs and making their presence felt for about an hour.
The group, known as Democrats Abroad, joined forces for a bigger cause happening across the North American landscape. Streets were buzzing from coast to coast with folks calling out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the treatment of migrants—talk about a hot topic! Their slogans were loud and clear, with phrases like “No Kings, No Dictators” and “No Human is Illegal,” going hand in hand with a call for a bit more compassion in the face of a harsh political climate.
As you can guess, along with the usual slogans came some banners targeting not only Trump but the whole authoritarian vibe drifting over from the U.S. Some notes of irony here, as the protest coincided with celebrations for Flag Day and the anniversary of the U.S. Army. Not your usual way of celebrating, right?
These demonstrations aren’t just isolated to our lovely town; they’re happening in eight locations across Mexico, all coordinated by the Democrats Abroad—who seem to have their hands full trying to promote a little democracy and resist the wave of discontent.
In wrapping it up, it’s clear that the folks in San Miguel de Allende are not the kind to sit quietly—especially when it comes to political issues from back home. They’re raising their voices, making it known they care about the direction things are heading in the land of red, white, and blue.
So, what do you think? Did you catch the action, or would you join if you could? Drop a comment below and let’s chat it out! Until next time, take care and keep it real!
