5 days.
It’s been five days since Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico.
And 60% of Puerto Rican households still don’t have access to electricity – 30% don’t have access to running water.
We need to call this catastrophe what it is: An extreme weather event made far worse by our government’s failure to plan and failure to act quickly.
We know hurricanes are going to keep coming. We know extreme weather events are only going to get worse. We know the system is fundamentally broken.
That’s why we’re asking you to support the Fiona Community Response Fund – to provide immediate relief where our government has failed and the long-term, power-building work to advance an equitable recovery.
The Fiona Community Response Fund is led by a coalition of community-led organizations – a partnership of approximately 25 organizations including the Maria Fund, Taller Salud, Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico, Institutio Agroecologia, Campamento contra las cenizas de Peñuelas, Étnica, and others.
Please join the team at Women’s March in supporting the Fiona Community Response Fund today.
Thank you,
All of us at Women’s March
