Puerto Ricans stood in defiance Sunday of both hurricane Fiona that battered their Island last month and the rain that attempted to wash out a march to raise awareness for it.
Dubbed Silent Procession NYC4PR, the march was established in 2017 following the landfall of Hurricane Maria that devastated the U.S. territory. Every year since, a mute procession has been held to raise awareness of the ongoing struggles Puerto Ricans face, and this year those struggles are rife with hardships and grief more than ever following Hurricane Fiona.
