Like a river in flood, on March 22nd, thousands of protesters, led by CONAIE, Ecuador’s most powerful indigenous organization, descended on Quito from all over the country. They were protesting the opening up of the country to large-scale mining, the need for urgent land reform, and 17 other points that brought together a veritable rainbow coalition of activists and organizations that supported CONAIE’s and their protest.
