Mexico City anticipates several marches and protests on Friday, July 7, which may lead to traffic disruptions across the capital. The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) has informed the public about these planned mobilizations.

The Inter-university Assembly for Palestine is set to gather at the auditorium of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at UNAM. Their objective is to strategize actions against far-right initiatives that support Zionism, arms purchases, and economic agreements with Israel.

Additionally, the LGBTTTIQ+ Congress has organized a rally scheduled for 5 p.m. at the facilities of the Secretariat of the Navy in the Coyoacรกn borough. This demonstration aims to demand respect, dignity, and justice for a worker from the Secretariat of the Navy, originally from Chimalhuacรกn, State of Mexico, who is reportedly facing discrimination due to his sexual orientation.

The search committee 'Hasta Encontrarles' (Until We Find Them) will also hold a rally at 5:30 p.m. This event coincides with the "Twenty-Sixth Meeting of the Special Search Commission" and seeks to demand an update on the case of the forced disappearance of two social activists on May 25, 2007, in Oaxaca state.

Furthermore, the Regeneraciรณn Sindical Movement plans to conduct activities throughout the day at the Institute to Return the People What Was Stolen (Instituto para Devolver al Pueblo lo Robado). They intend to set up signature collection tables to protest against the General Secretary of the Mexican Electricians' Union.
