- Barely a week after being hit by Hurricane Irma, AFT members in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are coping with an even bigger disaster following a direct hit yesterday from Hurricane Maria. “Just as we are doing in Texas, Florida and the other areas hit by these hurricanes, we will help you rebuild,” AFT President Randi Weingarten says. The AFT Disaster Relief Fund needs more contributions to continue with that assistance. Read one Florida member’s blog on her experience dealing with Irma.
