10 ACTION STEPS FOR PUERTO RICO

"Colaboramos con nuestrxs compañerxs en CultureStrike para producir este plan de acción ilustrado de 10 pasos para reconstruir a Puerto Rico. Después del paso del huracán María, nuestro querido compañero, Hiram Rivera Marcano, desarrolló estos 10 puntos en comunicación y solidaridad con nuestra gente en Santurce, que aunque estaban sobrecargadas por el trabajo de apoyo mutuo, querían que se articulara una respuesta a la catástrofe política en las islas."

After hurricane María, our dear comrade, Hiram Rivera Marcano developed these ten points in communication and solidarity with our people in Santurce who were consumed by relief efforts, yet concerned about articulating the political catastrophe happening on the island."
