ACTION ITEM
- Please bring one current or historical resource to share- a website, podcast or radio show, journal, etc- that you consider to be a source of information about the issue of the debt crisis in Puerto Rico or a resource or tool for local and diasporic action regarding this issue. Example: Auditoría Ya
In our fall and winter cycles we are focusing on readings from the book Aftershocks of Disaster: Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm, edited by Yarimar Bonilla and Marisol LeBrón, as well as documentary films focused on different aspects of the effects of Hurricane María and the solutions communities on the ground have implemented to address the issues laid bare by the María and her aftermath.
