Joven Chilena Comparte su Perspectiva sobre las Protestas Populares

En octubre de 2019, Chilenxs por todo el país salieron a protestar el gobierno actual y la constitución adoptada bajo la dictadura militar de Pinochet en 1980. Culminó con una marcha de más que un millón de personas el día 25 de octubre en Santiago de Chile. Ahora en marzo 2020, las protestas están arrancando con una energía renovada. Aquí, desde el Campamento Climático: Pueblos Contra el Terricidio, nos cuenta una joven de Coyhaique, Chile sobre este movimiento.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
