Dear Members and Allies:

Don't forget to register! for the All of Us: Puerto Rico, From Economic and Natural Disasters, to COVID-19 and the Importance of Union Solidarity town hall. This space will be aimed at shedding light on the current situation that Puerto Rico is going through. From the impact of the economic crisis that began in 2014; the devastation left behind by Hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017; the decimation caused by a series of earthquakes that have shaken the island since late 2019; to the health, social and financial crisis that COVID-19 has unleashed upon working families across the island.

 

One hundred years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. Today, we take a moment to thank the fearless women who fought tirelessly for our right to vote. Let's uphold their legacy by mobilizing women in the 2020 election.
