On this day, 15 November 2011, in Trinidad, Bolivia, a group of disabled Bolivians began a march to capital La Paz. The march was to encourage the government to increase support for disabled people and to tackle societal stigma about disability. The march grew to 200 including children, with 1,000 supporters in La Paz. When the march entered La Paz in February 2012 they were met with riot police who attacked the march. In the aftermath an embarrassed Evo Morales conceded several of their demands.
Today a far-right coup plot is ongoing in Bolivia which has forced Morales to resign. This is a brief article about the resistance from an Indigenous perspective: https://libcom.org/news/they-are-not-evo-supporters-they-are-altenos-dammit-13112019 https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1264312253753922/?type=3
