On this day, 6 March 1922, a wave of rent strikes in Veracruz, Mexico, was triggered when sex workers barricaded a street with their rented mattresses, chairs and other furniture, planning to start a giant bonfire. Police quelled the action at the last minute, but news of the action spread and sparked tenant protests across the city.
