En estos momentos lo que necesitamos es solidaridad. Sobretodo en esta nueva crisis que nos vemos, LaRabieta se une para compartirles un listado de recursos y ayudas para artistas y freelancers dedicados al trabajo creativo y artístico, además ayudas para aquellos negocios y establecimientos y locales afectados por el COVID-19 en Puerto Rico. Espero que les ayude y les sea útil.

Queremos aprovechar para hacer un llamado a todas las asociaciones y federaciones, uniones, fundaciones, compañías con y sin fines de lucro, empresas bancarias, centros de convenciones, universidades privadas, escuelas, coliseos y otros grandes venues, agencias de mercadeo y publicidad, instituciones privadas y públicas que contratan y se benefician del trabajo creativo, artístico y musical, a que este es el momento preciso de unirse en crear un fondo dotal para la clase artística local en Puerto Rico. El fondo debe crearse con el fin de usarse para este tipo de emergencias, y otras como huracanes y terremotos, que los participantes puedan solicitar por medio de una convocatoria, no se necesita un ente para esto solo voluntad y unión. He tenido la experiencia de ver como uniones, fundaciones, asociaciones, y organizaciones sin fines de lucro de artistas en la ciudad de Nueva York, se han unido para crear fondos y proveer ayuda de forma directa a sus artistas y trabajadores culturales. Puerto Rico tiene todo el mecanismo y recurso para crear un fondo dotal para el artista. Es hora ya! #ApoyaLaMúsicaLocal #SupportLocalMusicians

Importante decir que el listado fue curado solo para residentes en Puerto Rico, en una próxima oportunidad podemos añadir aquellos artistas que están residiendo en Nueva York. Por ahora nos enfocaremos en la isla.
