Los bancos tienen casas sin gente el pueblo tiene gente sin casas

Sugeily Rodriguez Lebrón

“Mientras miles de personas viven en campamentos y refugios, es inaceptable que cientos de viviendas estén vacantes, particularmente las viviendas que obtuvieron los bancos mediante ejecuciones de hipoteca. En el centro de esta historia se encuentra el Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, una de las instituciones con la mayor cantidad de ejecuciones de hipotecas en la isla.” Cita de: El Terremoto y el Banco Popular: Cómo el Banco Más Grande de Puerto Rico Obstruye una Recuperación Justa por Abner Dennis. “While thousands of people live in camps and shelters, it is unacceptable that hundreds of homes are vacant, particularly homes obtained by banks through foreclosure. At the center of this story is Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, one of the institutions with the highest number of foreclosures on the island”.

Quote from “The Earthquake and Banco Popular: How Puerto Rico’s Largest Bank Hinders a Just Recovery” by Abner Dennis Arte por/art by @sugeilyrodriguez.lebron para/for @agitarte_cultural_works.

 

Women huddle together under the rubble of fallen structures, buildings, electrical lines in this muted-toned watercolor image. Below them a line of silhouettes of people, refugees. Text in Spanish states: “Los bancos tienen casas sin gente; el pueblo tiene gente sin casas.”
