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.
This is a great history of the Veracruz renters’ movement: https://libcom.org/history/postrevolutionary-pioneer-anarchist-mar%C3%AD-luisa-mar%C3%ADn-veracruz-renters%E2%80%99-movement-1 https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1367464660105347/?type=3
