Demonstrators marched from Government Center to Copley Square Saturday to demand an end to the killings of protestors in Colombia by their government and its security forces.

Organizations such as the Boston May Day Coalition, Massachusetts Peace Action and Colombianos por la Paz joined Colombians in the Greater Boston area in solidarity with the ongoing movement against “rampant inequality, poverty, inequality and bad economic policies” instituted by President Iván Duque’s government.
