In a recent article, I wrote back in August of 2020, I shared my admiration for an organization that has inspired so many of us, and their actions back then still resonate with us today. In a time when we are all experiencing a Global Pandemic, COVID-19 has exposed the flaws within our Capitalistic society and the lack of safety net it offers for the people. As millions face evictions and foreclosures across the nation, it seems our dear government has totally forgotten about us, or have they never really been on the side of the working-class?
The following video below explains and tells the story of the radical community organization that took matters into their own hands and resisted the evictions and social inequality they faced 50 years ago.
It is the 50th anniversary of the founding of EL Comite-MINP (Movimiento de Izquierda Nacional Puertorriqueño), an important organization of the Puerto Rican Left in the US, a collective of former members shares their stories and experience.
Perhaps something we need to do as well? I say yes, is time to rise and fight back!
