Infographic titled “The Response presents: How Puerto Ricans are Restoring Power to the People” and subtitled “An awarded-winning film exploring a network of mutual aid centers building collective resilience.” A doodle of a gust of wind labeled ”Maria” with more text reading “Disaster capitalism,” “Climate crisis,” and “Austerity measures,” and a doodle of militarized law enforcement officers, blows toward a doodle of Puerto Rico. Text written across Puerto Rico reads “Centros de Apoyo Mutuo” and various locations are marked. Four of the locations are labeled: “Las Marias,” with a sign reading “Cocina Cambu”; “Utuado” with a sign reading “CAMU Centro Apoyo Mutuo Utuado”; “Cagua” with a sign reading “espacio de salad”; and “Humacao” with a sign reading “Par my Patria.” Doodles of three people with speech bubbles reading “We want everything we do to build toward a new world...to empower people to build popular power.”; “We are trying to build political power and social fabric...to fight the state, because they have the resources we should have.”; and “I said, ‘Well, how can I help?’ Since the project looked so beautiful, people cooperating with each other.” Other speech bubbles read, “It’s very empowering to see people that maybe weren’t active, being active here at the center as community leaders.” and “...We are building power. And when people are free and awake and know what they’re worth...the whole community changes.” A green hill at the bottom of the infographic contains text reading “A Shareable Production www.theresponsefilm.org” with doodles of palm trees blowing and buildings roof blown by the wind, people eating and lining up for food, dancing, and getting ear acupuncture. Small text on the side reads “@lizar_tistry.”

The Response film will air on Free Speech TV through May 7th
