Recognizing Puerto Rico's Loss

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 30, 2018

Melissa Mark-Viverito, senior advisor to Latino Victory Fund and Power 4 Puerto Rico and former City Council Speaker, talks about the update to the death toll from Maria plus the president's response.

There’s a call-in on WNYC right now for people to pay tribute to any of the 2,975 lives lost in Puerto Rico, because every life deserves human dignity and not to just be a statistic or a score, and @BrianLehrer continues to be a gd national treasure

Besides the deaths directly from the storm, we have to recognize the deaths that occurred afterwards, from neglect, says @MMViverito.
