Did you know Puerto Rico has no control over its ports? Even during times of humanitarian needs, we cannot receive help from the international community. Why? Because of the Jones Act! Congress simply needs to remove PR from it! #NoJonesActForPR #JonesAct #JonesAct100years

We don’t support this bill. It is important to have context. #PuertoRicans did not vote in favor of statehood. This bill is being used to impose a status decision rather than allow Puerto Ricans to decide. Similar to how US citizenship was imposed.

Racism and white supremacy have kept Puerto Rico a colony. Those seeking annexation are ignoring the repression and murder of many who fought to liberate the island. Let’s be clear. They seek statehood for their own gains, because this is NOT what Boricuas VOTED FOR.

Here’s what you can say! “My name is _____. I am [diaspora] Puerto Rican/Boricua and I do not support statehood. [optional reasoning]. I support independence [and/or self-determination process]. I ask that you also support independence on my behalf. Thank you!”

The current legislators are manipulating the narrative and pushing for Statehood despite the recent election results that show that only 1/4th of the archipelago voted in favor of statehood. #nostatehoodforpuertorico #abolishact60

Speaking of funds, Ricardo Rosselló ; where are the millions of dollars you and your administration stole from #UnidosPorPuertoRico? #nostatehoodforpuertorico Senado de Puerto Rico

Perhaps congress should follow Chuck Schumer and hold the aid until #Act60 is abolished but we all know that money will never make it to the average Boricua; the Partido Nuevo Progresista will treat it as their stimulus. #nostatehoodforpuertorico

The current legislators are manipulating the narrative and pushing for Statehood despite the recent election results that show that only 1/4th of the archipelago voted in favor of statehood. #nostatehoodforpuertorico #abolishact60

Less than 24% of the island voted in favor of statehood. How does this translate to a majority opinion and sentiment of “Yes”?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rep. Nydia Velazquez What's y'all numbers? I wanna leave voicemails.

People have died so Puerto Rico could see a day of freedom and liberty again and the best y'all could do was this ugly ass bill that doesn't talk about the #JONESACT? THIS IS WHY THINGS LIKE ACT 60, ACT 22, AND ACT 20 EXIST; por estupideces como el JONES ACT.

In night court now. 57-year-old man sent to Rikers on $2,000 bail for possession of a small amount of heroin. The COVID rate there is nearly 20%. The City will pay over $6,000 for him to be incarcerated over MLK weekend. And DOC probably won’t bring him to court on Tuesday.

New York is making strides in #CannabisJustice and ensuring the communities most harmed by criminalization benefit from legalization. That progress is greatly due to advocates like Emily Marie Ramos Rodríguez, co-founder of worker co-op High Mi Madre. #WHMNYC #WomensHistoryMonth

A human chain has formed around the encampment on Library Mall. Police now speaking with organizers.
