#AbolishAct22

[The Nation @thenation]

Average rents in Puerto Rico have skyrocketed 600 percent since 2017 as properties have been bought up by newcomers. It's unaffordable for locals to live on their territory.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Wealthy investors shouldn't get tax breaks while Puerto Rican families get pushed out of their homes.

I'm standing with the residents of Hacienda Grande community in Loíza against displacement, environmental destruction, and a housing system that puts profits over people.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Congress enacting a law called PROMESA.

This is no fictional nightmare, this is Puerto Rico today.

Watch, then send a message to Congress: https://t.co/wGewXPaj8Q #AbolishLaJunta

Puerto Rico inicia la temporada de huracanes bajo la sombra de posibles cambios en FEMA. Ante la incertidumbre sobre el futuro papel del gobierno federal en la respuesta a desastres, ¿qué podría significar esto para los esfuerzos de preparación y recuperación de la isla?l

Gracias a los representantes estatales de Minnesota María Isa Pérez-Vega, Cedrick Frazier y Liish Kozlowski por apoyar a la comunidad puertorriqueña y sus reclamos para dar paso a la salida de la Junta de Supervisión Fiscal. ✊🏽🇵🇷 #FueraLaJunta

Thank you to the Minnesota House People of Color and Indigenous Caucus (POCI) leaders for supporting the Puerto Rican community’s calls to end the Financial Oversight Board aka “La Junta”. #EndLaJunta

Puerto Ricans in Loíza Face Homelessness After Being Told They Could Stay

https://t.co/sNOBAzUHPT

[Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Ctr @jacprcc]

Part 2: The fight for Loíza continues. For decades, the “Villa Vaca” Hacienda Grande community in Puerto Rico has been home to generations of families, grandparents, parents, and children building their lives side by side. About five years ago, they were told their future was secure: sign the contracts, pay $1 in rent, and you’ll never have to leave.

Now, that promise is unraveling. An Illinois Act 22 developer is putting this community at risk of displacement, threatening to uproot elders and young families who have nowhere else to go. What was supposed to protect them may now cost them everything.

This isn’t just about land. It’s about trust, history, and the right to stay in the place they’ve always called home. Listen to their stories. Share them. Stand with Loíza. ✊🏽🇵🇷 #PuertoRicoIsNotForSale #CloseAct22TaxLoophole #LoizaPuertoRico

[Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Ctr @jacprcc]

People in Loíza were told they could keep their homes and now an Act 22 investor, Dr. Yan Katnelson, of Ora World company, from Illinois wants to leave them without a home. The community of Hacienda Grande (Villa Vaca) is standing up. These are their stories.

“La transición le corresponde a la oposición que ganó las elecciones, no a quienes las robaron”: la tajante advertencia del analista Federico de Jesús sobre la actual crisis en Venezuela. Para el consultor, el país enfrenta una maniobra donde Washington parece priorizar el control de los hidrocarburos sobre la libertad real de los ciudadanos: “Si esto se trata solo del petróleo, es un fracaso absoluto para la democracia”.

Here in Chicago's Humboldt Park, many community groups are preserving and sharing the powerful history and Puerto Rican cultural identity carried within la Bomba Puertorriqueña. Through music, dance, and storytelling, they’re building connections across past, present, and future generations. Learn more about them and the leaders keeping this tradition alive. Join the movement, take a class, or experience the energy of a live Bombazo! 💃🏽🥁

@AfriCaribe_Chi was founded in 2000 by Evaristo “Tito” Rodriguez as a means of celebrating the African influence in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. It is dedicated to the preservation, promotion and development of these cultures through music, dance, theater, and other media.

Colectivo Sayba is an Afro-Puerto Rican traditional Bomba ensemble founded in 2023 that unites ceremony, education, and artistry to uplift cultural memory and collective resilience through performances, workshops, and community events.

La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón is an Afro-Puerto Rican diasporic performing arts school rooted in the tradition of Bomba. It was founded in 2009 by @IvelisseDiaz87, also Director & founder of Las BomPleneras, and has since evolved into a cultural space that continues this legacy, creating opportunities for all to learn and grow, while connecting folks from across the Puerto Rican diaspora back home.

“..the product that Puerto Rican annexationists are selling does not find a buyer in Washington, simply because it is not an offer that is compatible with U.S. systems.” 🧵

[FDJ Solutions @fdjsolutionsdc]

“Selling annexation as a mere political transaction & not a patriotic ‘American’ gesture for a jurisdiction that operates in Spanish, pays no 🇺🇸 income taxes & keeps asking for more💰-without having used billions available-will remain a stumbling block.”

Today, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center joined Illinois Unidos and the Puerto Rican Agenda to raise the alarm about the nearly $5 million in prevention and public health funding that has been denied to our community, putting essential services for thousands of Chicago families at risk.

We urge state and local leaders to use Rainy Day or emergency stabilization funds to protect prevention, chronic disease, and community health programs serving historically disadvantaged communities across Chicago. #HealthEquity #ProtectPublicHealth #HumboldtPark

[Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Ctr @jacprcc]

After years of organizing and speaking out, today marks a major step forward. U.S. Representatives @CongressmanRaja (IL) and @RepDarrenSoto (FL) have introduced the Puerto Rican People’s Power Restoration Act of 2026 to abolish the Financial Oversight and Management Board (aka La Junta), imposed on Puerto Rico a decade ago.

For ten years, this unelected body has overridden Puerto Rico’s elected leaders and imposed austerity that puts Wall Street ahead of the Puerto Rican people. This moment was made possible by the tireless advocacy of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, the @Pwr4PuertoRico coalition, partner organizations, and elected officials from various states who have fought to restore democracy and self-determination for Puerto Rico. The fight continues, but today is a powerful step forward. 🇵🇷✊🏽
