Afrodescendants from the El Ticuíz community in Coahuayana, Michoacán, blocked the federal Highway 200 on September 1, 2026, to demand self-governance and the end of interference from municipal and ejidal authorities. [^1]

Protesters displayed signs written on cardboard explicitly demanding autogobierno (self-governance) and no injerencia (interference) from local authorities in the El Ticuíz community. [^2]

The blockade was part of actions coordinated with the Supreme Indigenous Council of Michoacán to demand that the rights of indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples be addressed at the state level. [^3]

Charlotte Smith concluded that the mental relief and clarity gained from the short ride proved that 'Throttle Therapy' does not require long distances or specific destinations. [^4]

Charlotte Smith, a writer and journalist based in Mexico, stopped riding her motorcycle, Dora, for several months due to the extreme summer heat and a belief that short rides were not worthwhile. [^5]

On a recent day, Charlotte Smith and her companion Omar took Dora for a short ride along Highway 200 between Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlán in Mexico. [^6]

The author realized she had confused the therapeutic benefits of riding with the distance covered, deciding that short trips did not count as valid therapy. [^7]

The peaceful blockade allowed all types of vehicles to pass every 30 minutes during the protest. [^8]
