Annual Report 2020-2021

At the end of the year, La Liga had the opportunity to participate in the informative
public hearing convened by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, where representatives
from the public, community, and private sectors discussed the failures committed by
FEMA during the management and recovery process of the archipelago.
Organizations such as the Center for the New Economy, Taller Salud, the Center for
Puerto Rican Studies, the Center for Investigative Journalism, and others participated
in the event.
La Liga's presentation, delivered by Founding Executive Director Cristina Miranda
Palacios, focused on the delay in the reconstruction process, caused in part by the
lack of preparedness of the local and federal governments to deal with the disaster.
Furthermore, the crisis that municipalities are going through because of the lethargic
reconstruction process, austerity measures imposed by the Fiscal Control Board and
the Puerto Rican Central government, and other concurrent factors were emphasized.
In an era where information travels quickly through
social networks, as an organization we recognized that a
better way to advance the municipalist agenda was to strengthen our
media presence. To this end, we launched our Instagram account with the intention
of not only promoting workshops and initiatives, but also informing a wider
audience about alternatives, models, and practices that we endorse and work on as
a political organization. Also, as mentioned above, we launched our YouTube
channel, a space that serves as a repository for recordings of the workshops offered
through ICAMU. This is also used to provide information about our organization and
participation in public forums. In addition, our web page was remodeled to increase
the flow of information and accessibility for its users.
