A CALL TO ACTION FOR PUERTO RICO!
WE WILL NOT PAY THIS DEBT! PICKET THE HEDGEFUNDERS!

The crisis in Puerto Rico is deepening and raining misery upon the poor & working people of the island. We are calling for a series of weekly demos beginning next week in front of the offices of several key hedge fund vultures. The first one will be at the offices of billionaire vulture John Paulson.

Members of New York City’s Puerto Rican community and supporters will denounce controversial hedge fund manager John Paulson and demand an immediate end to his predatory practices in Puerto Rico. Hedge funds and billionaire hedge fund managers have swooped into Puerto Rico during a fast-moving economic crisis to prey on the island. Paulson has focused on transforming Puerto Rico into a low-tax, high-luxury playground for the wealthy. He has purchased $120 million of Puerto Rico’s debt. Like other hedge fund managers, he is looking to collect massive profits from his investments – even if it means drastic austerity measures like cuts to public education funding and wages that will destroy the lives of families and children. Paulson’s paradise is a nightmare for Puerto Ricans.
