Oct 20th!! Join us and other student organizations in our fundraiser for PR, as the island continues to struggle due to the aftermath of Fiona, on top of socioeconomic and political crises.

And stay tuned! In late October/early November, we're organizing a bigger fundraising event within the UC Berkeley community (much like the event we hosted for Hurricane Maria 5 years ago). The details for this event will be announced soon
En solidaridad,

Wepa Boricuas and all,
We hope you are well and able to find time and space to process the events unfolding in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of hurricane Fiona. We also sincerely hope your families on the island are safe and at the very least have access to basic resources.

[Zoila Alvarez Aponte @zoilaialvarez]

Be on the lookout for a donation doc coming soon from @berkeleyboricua thanks to the amazing, efficient, and caring @bekacabrera and @mmarivarg who put this template together for other groups to use. ❤️🇵🇷

The “Puerto Ricans are Americans like Californians or New Yorkers” and “Puerto Rico is part of the United States” rhetorical lines, while coming from a well intentioned place, are inherently wrong. The former, because Puerto Ricans are a nation…

Lots of talk about rebuilding houses, bridges, etc. more resiliently in #PuertoRico following #Fiona. When are we going to talk about the need to restore ecosystems so that #PuertoRico can withstand the onslaught of climate change? https://t.co/Sb7RtEpR3N

[SACNAS @SACNAS]

Many have asked, how can I support #PuertoRico after #Fiona?
@CienciaPR has put together a list of vetted nonprofits as well as a list of free mental health & public health resources.

El Bosque Solar sigue de pie y puedes durante el día ir a recargar tus equipos. Descubre 12 outlets en laterales de los bancos de madera. La vecina ha mantenido tranquilidad porque no se ha interrumpido el uso requerido de su máquina de apnea de sueño. #oasis #solar #Adjuntas

Hurricane Fiona, like Hurricane Maria, is forcing Puerto Ricans once again to collect water from a tiny stream near a highway: https://t.co/kSbjF6c1ff

Mucha paz to all who are struggling right now, tanto en la isla como en la diáspora. Our hearts are with you, and we will be working towards creating more spaces for reflection and fundraising for those affected by these disasters.

Fuerza.

Boricuas yesterday had a memorial at Sather Gate reflecting on 5 years after Hurricane Maria, which brought catastrophic winds to the island and caused major damage.

Today, we stand solemnly as we see once again our island brought to destruction by another hurricane.
