Puerto Ricans call for protest in Washington
“Convened by the Power4Puerto Rico coalition, refugees and civic and union groups have organized a day of protests - which could include acts of civil disobedience - and visits to offices of members of Congress, to mark the six-month anniversary of the worst catastrophe the Island has faced in a century. The events, which begin on Monday evening, will be headed on Tuesday by a protest in front of the headquarters of FEMA in Washington DC, said Samy Nemir Olivares, spokesman for the Center for Popular Democracy.”
