The Discipline of Hope: Reflections on Walking with Social Movements in Puerto Rico |
|
Our Senior Solidarity Program Officer Jovanna Garcia Soto reflects on her work accompanying social movements in Puerto Rico: |
|
“Walking with the social movements and community-based organizations of Puerto Rico is the flame that stokes my discipline of hope… They have organized with great courage, taking crises as opportunities to decolonize minds, bodies, and territories, and to deepen popular power. They are the ones who work day after day for a just recovery and a long-term sustainable reconstruction, rejecting the idea of rebuilding old systems that reproduce oppression and that put people in such a vulnerable position in the first place.” |
