We're proud to be in Washington, D.C., this week with a broad coalition of Puerto Ricans from the island and diaspora assembled by Power4PuertoRico.

We'll be demanding action from Congress on issues that harm our people—including Puerto Rico's colonial status!

A fantastic episode of Diaspórica with our collaborator Damara González. She shares how she discovered her family's history of pro-independence activism, and her own journey to finding her voice on this issue as a diasporican.

Give it a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/6FBzwy…

Colonialism leads to displacement—to people being disconnected from their homeland.

As Hawaii’s case shows, statehood does mot prevent this problem. In fact, it can supercharge it.

Only independence will let Puerto Ricans build a future in our land, for our people!

Americans must dispense with the notion that it’s not their place to take a stand on Puerto Rico’s political status.

Nothing short of full political sovereignty—not statehood, not a continuation of the “Commonwealth” colonial status—will do.

En la entrevista con Juan Dalmau hablamos sobre cómo la Junta @FOMBR impulsa la emigración de jóvenes a los EU, cómo será su gobernación, la lavada de manos de Joe Biden sobre el estatus de PR y los prejuicios hacia independentistas que emigran a EU.

What do The Democrats like Raul M. Grijalva Rep. Nydia Velazquez and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who claim they're committed to decolonization for Puerto Rico, think about their House Minority Leader donating to a politician who supports the status quo in PR and denies it is colonial?

Are pro-statehood politicians committing electoral fraud? Wouldn’t be the first time!

This is why any Puerto Rican decolonization process cannot be left up to corrupt political parties!

We're excited to see and support Las Borinqueñas, a new play from the Latinx Playwrights Circle about the shameful trials of the contraceptive pill on Puerto Rican women in the mid-20th century.

Check it out and support Puerto Rican stories! ensemblestudiotheatre.org/20232024-seaso…
