Three days ago, a teacher in Puerto Rico died in a car crash while leaving one of the three jobs he had. Teachers’ base salary in PR is $1750 a month.
Puerto Rico’s teachers are taking the streets demanding government action.
Protestors chant: “Pablo Mas Oquendo,” the name of the teacher that died in the car crash. His cousin just addressed the crowd—estimated to be in the thousands—that us gathered in front of the Governor’s mansion in Old San Juan.
