Restoring Hope for Puerto Rico
Story
9 Millones is a journalism platform that seeks to restore hope to Puerto Rican communities residing both in and out of our islands. For us, hope is more than a dream, it is a driving force that defies narratives. We need you to continue telling stories that inform social structures and movements in Puerto Rico.
To continue our work, we have launched a campaign to raise $20,000 by January 2024. If we get 500 people to give us $40— we will reach our goal! Your tax-deductible contribution is an investment to help cultivate hope through stories that center solutions.
