On Thursday, September 8, just before midnight, an 8.1 earthquake hit southern Mexico, the biggest in a century. Hardest hit was the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Among the ruins is the cultural center La Casa de Arte y Cultura de Jutchitan de Lidxi Guendabiaan
Last week Cuba was hard hit by Hurricane Irma. While the blockade of Cuba and many of the US Treasury Laws make direct aid difficult, this is one way that US folks can give.
Help Global Links deliver medical equipment and supplies that will support health services and hospitals damaged by Hurricane Irma.
Disaster Relief
HotHouse is an internationalist project that prizes values like solidarity over charity and the analysis of the structural causes of inequality. We weave this analysis into the work we do and the projects we choose to emphasize. Last week two major climate change disasters hit close to home - affecting our friends in the Caribbean and southern states and our longtime collaborating partner in Mexico. While in the long term we think we need to collectively address the systemic roots of these disasters, in the short term we are doing what we can to encourage you to contribute to alleviate some economic hardship felt in our allied communities. Thank you
