Yesterday, Alexandria met with Activate PR, a community-led organization
seeking to build affordable and sustainable housing for the families of
Puerto Rico.

They toured a property in Santurce, Puerto Rico at risk of being bought
out by an Airbnb investor for their current campaign, La Base Comunitaria,
which aims to purchase property and transform it into long-term,
sustainable community housing.

Currently, this building is home to elderly tenants who have been central
to the fabric of this community and have nowhere else to go.

This is a critical moment to demonstrate how community-led solutions can
stop displacement and preserve Puerto Rican neighborhoods — and Activate
PR’s movement to protect, cultivate, and celebrate Puerto Rican innovation
— with dignity.

[ [link removed] ]Will you make a $5 contribution today to La Base
Comunitaria? Every dollar brings Activate PR closer to preserving housing
and culture in Puerto Rico, while fighting developers driving up rent in
San Juan and around the island.

La Base Comunitaria would feature multipurpose rooms for meetings and
cultural events, a community kitchen for sharing food and cultural
knowledge, and a unique solar-powered, affordable housing initiative.

At La Base, apartments would be available for affordable, long-term
leases, designed to keep Puerto Rican families in their community without
fear of displacement due to the speculative market.

Whether or not you can contribute today, thank you for standing with our
movement to prove that affordable housing is a human right.

Pa’lante,

Team AOC
