## Caption

one broken pipe didn’t create puerto rico’s water crisis. it exposed a system that had already been failing for decades.

the deeper i look, the more i find: broken equipment, unfinished repairs, lost water, deferred maintenance, political finger-pointing, and communities forced to build their lives around services they cannot depend on.

for those of us in the diaspora, paying attention cannot begin and end when a crisis goes viral. learn the history. follow local reporting. listen to the people who have been living this and demanding better for years.

because without the political context, every failure looks isolated, and the people responsible get to hide behind the latest broken pipe.

share this with a boricua in the states. 🇵🇷
