Chileans Overwhelmingly Approve Rewrite of Pinochet-Era Constitution
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chile, tens of thousands of people poured into the streets of
Santiago and around the country Sunday evening as results came in
showing an overwhelming majority voted to rewrite Chile's Pinochet
dictatorship-era constitution. One year after mass protests rocked the
country, many hope the historic referendum will lead to changes in
social and economic inequalities, address police brutality, expand
access to education, and Indigenous sovereignty.
