Study: Hurricane Maria killed nearly 3,000

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer speaks with correspondent Leyla Santiago reporting on the results of a new study by George Washington University on the death toll attributed to Hurricane Maria. The new study’s figure of 2,975 deaths is nearly 46 times higher than the current official figure of 64 deaths.

Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.

So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
