In September 2017, a group of passionate people (mostly artists and musicians) from the West and the diaspora mobilized themselves to create a brigade that would meet the immediate needs of communities after María. As part of these efforts, debris was collected, roadways were cleared, and thousands of groceries, water filters, tarps, and other essential goods were distributed to aid the recovery process after the emergency. As one of dozens of mutual aide projects in Puerto Rico, la Brigada Solidaria del Oeste (BSO) has not stopped working, rebuilding homes, supporting communities through earthquakes, Fiona, the pandemic, political unrest in 2019 and for the past two years, organizing communities to fight displacement and ecocide as part of the Coalition of Defiende a Cabo Rojo.
