The lack of respect for bodily autonomy becomes especially glaring during times of tragedy. 💔💔 For extremely low pay, incarcerated individuals are putting their bodies in harm’s way, with almost no assurance of their safety, the potential impact on their future reproductive health, or their right to safely raise their children. To make matters worse, under California law, this cannot lead to future employment as firefighters.

Our hearts go out to Puerto Rico on this New Year’s Eve. 💔

As reported by CNN, as of two hours ago, the island of Puerto Rico is about 80% without electricity. More than 1.3 million island residents are without power. This isn’t the first time a power outage or blackout on the island has impacted the lives of Puerto Ricans but one that is island wide and on a holiday.

Businesses have closed, and New Year's Eve plans have been significantly affected.

LUMA Energy, the private company which has faced scrutiny in the past, is responsible for managing Puerto Rico's power grid. LUMA initiated phased restoration efforts and estimated that complete restoration could take 24 to 48 hours. According to AP News, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi said he was in touch with Luma and Genera PR, adding on X that “we are demanding answers and solutions.”

Enough is enough. While it is part of the everyday lives of Puerto Ricans on the island, it doesn't have to be this way.

Today, we honor a miracle that united cultures inspired millions, and continues to bring hope across Latin America and beyond. 🌹🌎

Do you know the story? In 1531, Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, a humble indigenous man, calling him “Juanito” with motherly love and entrusting him with a mission that would transform history.

From the blooming roses in winter to her sacred image imprinted on his tilma, her story reminds us of overcoming self doubt.

Today, her devotion crosses borders, uniting us all under her loving embrace. ❤️
