Summary

Puerto Rico is nearly unlivable for Puerto Ricans. After decades of exploitation and natural disasters, it seems like the U.S. territory (*cough colony!*) is now completely at the whim of crypto billionaires, money launderers and American tax evaders. Co-directors of forthcoming documentary Losing Puerto Rico, Nomiki Konst and Federico de Jesus break down how an unelected economic board and American tax policies have led to a massive housing crisis and skyrocketing prices. Puerto Rico is no longer for Puerto Ricans. Call or write your Congressperson about ending Article 22 and go to www.losingpuertorico.com to follow the film and the campaign. *** Watch more from the forthcoming documentary on YouTube: Losing Homeland - How a Speculators and Tax Cheats are Stealing Puerto Rico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6K2SxZNxGQ Puerto Rico's Act 22 Tax Evaders: PROMISES NOT KEPT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dxCOj8BBGQ Stop Rich Outsiders & Crypto From Taking Over Puerto Rico!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p9qSaLJS1g *** Frantastic Fridays on The Bitchuation Room are free to watch.
