"En la tradición de cada Cumbre de las Américas desde la Cumbre de Mar del Plata de 2005, sindicalistas, activistas, organizaciones de base y personas progresistas de las Américas convocaron a una Cumbre de los Pueblos durante el fin de semana del 8, 9 y 10 de junio para contrarrestar el IX Cumbre de las Américas celebrada en Los Ángeles, CA.
La Cumbre de los Pueblos albergará tres días de arte, música, oradores, debates, talleres, mesas redondas y actuaciones, todo lo cual elevó las voces de la gente e imaginó un mundo nuevo; uno que pone la democracia del pueblo en primer lugar.
Entre los invitados se encontraba Oscar López Rivera, quien entrega un poderoso mensaje sobre la importancia de la soberanía de los pueblos y la unión contra el imperialismo estadounidense. ¡Que viva Puerto Rico libre!"

"In the tradition of each Summit of the Americas since the 2005 Mar Del Plata Summit, unionists, activists, grassroots organizations, and progressive people of the Americas called for a People’s Summit over the weekend of June 8th, 9th, and 10th to counter the 9th Summit of the Americas held in Los Angeles, CA.
The People’s Summit hosted three days of art, music, speakers, debates, workshops, panel discussions, and performances—all which uplifted the voices of the people and imagined a new world; one that puts people’s democracy first.
Amongst the guests was Oscar Lopez Rivera who delivers a powerful message on the importance of people's sovereignty and uniting together against U.S. imperialism. ¡Que viva Puerto Rico libre!"

Re: “all Puerto Ricans are Black”
I love Adrienne but absolutely no one here was surprised by these results 😂
Has anyone here taken their ancestry test and have been just as surprised at their results? Share your stories 👇🏼

“Telling People You’re [Boricua] When You’re Not [Boricua] Is A Lot Like Telling A Bear You’re A Bear When You’re Not A Bear”
Don’t cry when you get bit by the bear.

An animated informational video explaining that telling people you're Native American when you're not Native is a lot like telling a bear you're a bear when you're not a bear.

We cannot stress enough the importance of looking towards our sister island of Hawai'i and recognizing their struggle as our own. This is the path Puerto Rico has been on in the hands of the US imposed government which is using @pedropierluisi as it's current puppet.
Gringos that have been emboldened by the privelege as Neo-Americans and their white supremacist history, have been boasting about making Puerto Rico a Hawaii 2.0 and this is EXACTLY what they mean. Remember this the next time a gringito tells you "they are there to help". Gentrification is *always* done with intent and it's *always* done at the expense of the native population.

No podemos estresar lo suficiente la importancia de mirar hacia nuestra isla hermana de Hawai'i y reconocer su lucha como la nuestra. Este es el camino que ha recorrido Puerto Rico en manos del gobierno impuesto por los Estados Unidos con @pedropierluisi como marioneta.
Los gringos que se han envalentonado por el privilegio de los Neo-Americanxs y su historia de supremacistas blanco, se han burlado de hacer Puerto Rico un Hawaii 2.0 y esto es EXACTAMENTE lo que quieren decir. Recuerda esto la próxima vez que un gringito te diga "están aqui para ayudar". La gentrificación *siempre* se hace con intención y *siempre* se hace a expensas de la población nativa.

Got busted knocking pillows to the floor for my new corner fort. Can’t build sh*t around here.
As we reflect on 2021, we revisit a significant campaign we supported and were a part of earlier this year. @abolishact60 brought together Boricua scholars, politicians, activists, artists and community leaders to work together in bringing awareness to ACT60. A Tax Incentive Code that provides tax exemptions to foreign businesses and investors that relocate to, or are established in, Puerto Rico. It was an absolute honor to work with so much #BoricuaExcellence in bringing awareness to a law looking to promote a 'Puerto Rico without Puerto Ricans'.
If you missed it, Boricua reporter @lilialuciano covered this current law which promotes rapid gentrification, native displacement, tax evasion, and environmental disaster. This special was aired back in June and can be found on @cbsnews ' YouTube.
It's been such a pleasure hosting our Compositxr Del Mes for April 2021!

I do this out of pure love and passion for the motherland and though never motivated by money, it's still work and goddamn, this work is hard sometimes. Reliving past trauma on the daily while having to process the battles we are facing today are endless blows to the body and mind and the exhaustion seems to never end, pero SIEMPRE P'ALANTE!
With that, all and any donations towards the aid of keeping this platform alive and strong (and for general appreciation), are accepted.
