Members from the event’s 12 co-sponsor groups, including the Boston crew of Mijente, the nationwide Latinx collective that issued the initial call for action, rallied alongside survivors and those directly impacted by Hurricane Maria, in Betances Plaza on West Dedham Street at around 6 p.m. Sept. 20. Protesters marched from the South End to the offices of Seth Klarman, an investor and hedge fund manager who owns a large amount of Puerto Rico’s national debt, before gathering at St. Stephen’s Church on Shawmut Avenue to share their experiences and remember those who have died in the 12 months since the storm.
