QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE
In response to the ongoing earthquakes impacting the southwestern part of Puerto Rico and other critical issues across the island including the Coronavirus (COVID-19), El Frente and allied organizations have conducted fundraisers beginning on Sunday, Jan 12 where we raised $5,544 at Overthrow NYC. We plan to continue fundraising efforts to advance our work and to support grassroots organizations doing great on the ground work. While the government continues to fail us, our people, in the diaspora and in the motherland, continue to rise to the challenge. It's up to us to take care of us! Pa'lante!
As we allocate funds we collect, we will be considering these five areas of concern:
Emergency first response supplies and shipping costs
Psychological support
Medical
Children and children services
Reconstruction
