What you can do. A protestor cuts portions of a fence which had previously been partially torn down along the perimeter of Camp Garcia while riot police stand guard. Vieques, Friday, April 27, 2001. Big names like Ricky Martin, Benicio del Toro, and Marc Anthony are taking out New York Times ads denouncing the U.S. Navy's practice bombing of the small Puerto Rican island of Vieques. A young Kennedy is actually on site explaining U.S. environmental and human rights abuses.
