UNITE 4, THE TIPPING POINT

The tipping point in social protests in 2017

There have had many social protects in Dominican Republic Through the years, but social movements in Dominican Republic had their most important antecedents in the 1916th by peasants that fight against the North American Intervention. Another important labor movement was in the sugar industry in the 40th against the Trujillo Dictatorship, and many social movements more, that have generated a sign in the history.

The social protest that I want to refer as a tipping point in 2017 in Dominican Republic is the one called La Marcha Verde.

La Marcha Verde had its roots at the beginning of these year in Santo Dominto due to the Odebrecht case, a company that belongs to Brasil. The governors involved in this case are Hipolito Mejia, Leonel Fernandez and Danilo Medina.

The protest was generated by a group of civil organizations that win thousand of people over the country.
