From San Juan to DC: the Pro Independence Movement Speaks Out

The debate over Puerto Rico’s future isn’t new — but under the Trump administration, it’s taking on a different tone. Independence advocates have brought their message to Washington, D.C., hoping to be heard in a political moment where questions of sovereignty, power, and identity are back in the spotlight. We talk about the policy briefing, expert voices behind it, the pro statehood critics and what this renewed push means for Puerto Rico’s place in U.S. politics. Love the show?
