We must not remain silent in the face of rising division and extremism. And we must continue to work to find common ground that recognizes our shared humanity.

FUTURES loudly denounces all acts of political violence and hate. And we call on our elected leaders to do the same.

A few weeks ago Puerto Rico was in the middle of a surge in COVID19 cases. The governor imposed restrictions and strict mandates making it the US jurisdiction that most incentivizes vaccination. Today PR has a higher vaccination rate and lower case rate than all 50 US states.
