Editor’s note: Guadalajara’s water crisis is bringing questions of public health and accountability into sharp focus. In this edition, we examine the protest over contaminated water that left dozens injured, President Claudia Sheinbaum’s pledge of federal assistance and her demand that Jalisco authorities explain their response to demonstrators. Our local roundup also follows the investigation into pollution at Huaxtla Falls, where residents are calling for action to protect waterways and nearby communities. Alongside these urgent concerns, we highlight October’s food and music festivals—a snapshot of a region whose vibrant cultural life continues even as residents press for cleaner water and answers from their leaders.
