Share how one of StriveTogether’s core values is important to you.
As a Puerto Rican in the diaspora during the events surrounding Hurricane Maria, I’ve seen firsthand the value of community in how we support each other and transform the world we live in, whether in times of peace or chaos. Throughout all I’ve witnessed and experienced, the lesson I keep coming back to time and time again is this: Community-building is at the core of everything. It’s the pillar that sustains us as we survive, flourish and grow, and it is pivotal if we want to create real systemic change.
