"I think it speaks to her character. The first thing she should have done as soon as this came out was resign. That would have been the most decent thing to do, but her trying to resign her presidency first and seeing if she can stick along, I think that shows her character, and it's disgusting to be honest," said Gochez.Members from the Oaxacan community joined in the protest along with a traditional Oaxacan band that performed.
"We've done a lot of work in the community for decades to improve the relationship between Black and brown people. We are both colonized people living in one of the richest places in the world. We have the scraps of society and that's why we fight each other but we have to go above that moment and realize we have a lot more in common than we do different and that's why we have to unite if we want to improve our communities," said Gochez.
