charlottesville comrades, please come downtown at 7pm to rally in solidarity with the people of puerto rico!
solidarity from charlottesville to san juan #RickyRenuncia
“we want friends and family back in puerto rico to know they are not alone in this,” says a comrade addressing the crowd. people protesting on the island have faced brutal police repression over the past week.
“this corruption is merely the spark. puerto rico has been a colony of the united states for 121 years.” “the colonial status keeps puerto ricans from exercising full democracy.” #RickyRenuncia
“from charlottesville to san juan, we know what resistance looks like and we resist.” we have resisted fascism here in charlottesville and we stand with puerto ricans as they do the same.
“as we speak there is a large block of people on horseback riding toward the governor’s mansion,” and earlier today people in boats sailed up to the mansion. their resistance is varied, creative, and strong.
this chant echoes from charlottesville to san juan

the rally organizer is teaching the assembled crowd chants in spanish, then translating them and explaining their origin. learning about the struggle of those with whom we stand in solidarity is critical ❤️
“there is a pattern of the government telling people there is not enough money while handling that money to private companies,” ricky must resign & take the junta with him.
