Dive into a world of creativity!
i know, i know. you're trying not to doomscroll and i usually make silly memes, but this is important.
what's going on? mass a***ests and de***ntions of Dominican people looking for better lives. i'll let Bianca Graulau explain:
why is this happening? because Puerto Rico is considered a U.S. territory, not an independent nation or a state with representation and voting rights. Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are caught between disaster and the dregs of empire (climate disasters and Big Oil projects).
what can we do? support. support. support Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. and not just when bad bunny or young miko is doing a thing. or during hurricane disasters. or baseball season. people deserve to live. they deserve reparations, sovereignty and self-determination.
here are some orgs that help folks who are just trying to get on their feet and find the resources they need.
