Every year a delegation from Puerto Rico comes to the United Nations to testify at the De-Colonization Committee hearings to make the case for the liberation of Puerto Rico, Vieques and the release of the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners and POWs.

On June 9th, the General Assembly of the U.N. held a Thematic Dialogue on Democracy, Decolonization and Human Rights and
Puerto Rico was included. This can be an important step towards placing Puerto Rico on a future agenda.

This year our reception/forum is an opportunity to hear and dialogue with activists from Vieques, the independence movement, the socialist movement, political prisoner work, the labor movement and much more. Updates
will also include:

Labor Struggle in Puerto Rico, FBI Repression of the Independence Movement, and the current Economic Crisis!
