Puerto Rico has a history of coming out in record numbers. e.g. the Navy out of Vieques struggle, the privatization of the telephone company. But let's put in context. If 100,000 people march today, that would be the equivalent of 300,000 marching in NYC. In other words HUGE.

Much of island's debt may in fact be illegal. Much of the debt is predatory in nature, bought by vulture funds for cents on the dollar but they demand the full dollar. We cannot have a just recovery for #PuertoRico without talking about the debt. #AuditoriaYa #AuditTheDebt
