Thread: What’s happening in Vieques #PuertoRico.
A 3 yr old boy died in Vieques after the govt failed to transport him to the big island for a medical emergency. Vieques has been without a hospital since Hurricane Maria in 2017. However, this is not an isolated incident. 👇🏼

Vieques (along with Culebra) is an isle off Puerto Rico that has suffered irredeemable consequences of colonialism to a higher degree compared to the big island. Vieques also saw the US NAVY bombing of its land & shores that to this day, the US govt is yet to compensate them for.
Additionally the islands of Vieques & Culebra have been facing an unreliable maritime transportation system for decades. The govt continues to perpetuate their isolation by ignoring their protests over monthly interruption of shipments of basic necessities law.scu.edu/experiential/i…
