AFTER THE STORM COMES ACTION.
We are Puerto Ricans.
We are U.S. Citizens.
Our home is on the mainland, but our hearts are on the island.
And now, our vote gives us the PODER to make a difference for Puerto Rico.
Our home is on the mainland, but our hearts are on the island.
And now, our vote gives us the PODER to make a difference for Puerto Rico.
For decades, Puerto Rico has been an afterthought in Washington, and policy disputes have left our island at a great disadvantage. Hurricane Maria magnified our challenges. A collapsing infrastructure. Recurring blackouts. A struggling economy. American citizens left behind.
With more Puerto Ricans living on the mainland than ever before, we have the PODER to make change. The strength of our numbers gives us an unprecedented opportunity to hold our elected officials accountable and make a difference for our people.
When we lived on the island, we didn’t have power to vote in federal elections. Now that we’re living on the mainland, we do.
Together, we have the PODER to transform local and state politics. We have the PODER to influence national elections. We have the PODER to demand equal treatment for all U.S. citizens--no matter where they live. We have the PODER to lift Puerto Rico.
