A fundamental form of refusal in the debt crisis era can be described as “staying in place.” Not surprisingly, this mode was evoked by a 2016 hashtag that went viral: #YoNoMeQuito, meaning, “I will not give up” (Carrero 2017). Coined by entrepreneur Carlos López-Lay, president of the largest transportation distribution company on the island, it originated as a self-help message for employees to “keep moving forward despite the island’s recent challenges” (Carrero 2017). While some scholars have reasonably criticized the hashtag’s message as individualistic and conservative (Lloréns, 2018), when acted on by environmental, agricultural, feminist, and other kinds of community activism, this stance has constituted an indigenizing “placemaking” practice that literally uses people’s bodies, stories, and community ties to push back colonial-capitalist land speculation, state intervention or abandonment, and destruction of the environment.
