In the wake of Hurricanes Irma and María in 2017, Puerto Rico’s mutual aid networks became essential as government responses proved inadequate. This report, based on interviews with ten community-based organizations across the archipelago, explores how mutual aid plays a pivotal role in Puerto Rico, not only in addressing crises but also in envisioning a postcapitalist, decolonized future. It concludes with a set of recommendations focused on supporting decolonization of Puerto Rico, moving resources to the community controlled María Fund, and supporting infrastructure that helps move land and buildings out of the speculative market into community control. This report was originally commissioned to produce a set of learnings for One Project’s internal strategy. Since then, One Project and AgitArte agreed to produce an external version to share insights that may be of use to fellow funders and the broader network of communities working on mutual aid in Puerto Rico.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="center" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][button target="_blank" hover_type="default" text="READ FULL REPORT" link="https://oneproject.org/mutual-aid-in-puerto-rico/"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Through this Cantastoria, Papel Machete denounces the imposition of the Fiscal Control Board and calls for resistance and action against the Board and against payment of the debt.
