Philly Boricuas rally to help Puerto Rican quake victims, one backpack at a time

Philly Puerto Ricans on both sides of the political spectrum condemned a comedian’s remarks — and said it could have an impact at the polls.

After a magnitude 4.8 earthquake in April, inspectors declared the building unsafe. The branch reopened just in time to serve as a polling place for the election.

The theme of this year’s event was “The Puerto Rican Dreamers,” recognizing the achievements made by Puerto Ricans to inspire young Philadelphians.
