Hi Micaella,
Your infographic this week is on a really important topic that everyone should know about! I like your ties between social uprising and governmental policies (like NAFTA). I also like the tie-in with global solidarity and the connection with technology/social media. I would like to have seen an expansion on the connection between this movement and the movement in Chiapas that you mentioned in your video. Good job!
I’ve learned about the government of Mexico slightly in the past and it was interesting to see how that plays out in events happening today. The connection to the Chiapas rebellion was cool, and I like the idea of social change happening from the bottom playing out in the real world. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Mexico.
