On October 15, protestors shut down Puerto Rico’s Highway 18 in San Juan chanting “Fuera Luma!”, our Out Luma, demanding an end to the government contract with the private energy company, Luma Energy. Their cries were echoed at protests on the same day in New York City, Miami and Philadelphia. Three days later, protestors also rallied at the Capitol in San Juan to call for the stoppage of cuts to the public university, social services and public pensions.
