Episode 69 | Ecuador’s Indigenous movement launches ‘indefinite national strike’

In Ecuador, the country's largest Indigenous movement has been leading mass protests in the streets for nearly two weeks against President Daniel Noboa’s lifting of diesel subsidies. Gas prices have spiked. They say it will impact the price of food.

They’re calling their protests an “indefinite national strike.” The country is now on fire. They have faced repression. But they have vowed to continue in the streets, demanding justice. Demanding their rights. Standing in defense of their communities, their lives, and their future.

This is Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times. Please keep an eye out for Michael’s latest article about the Ecuador protests. It’ll be online with Truthout. You can visit www.Truthout.org for more.
