"Being Puerto Rican Here and There" / "Ser Boricua aqui y aya" Presenters: Charito Morales and Israel Colon

Latinos make up over 15% of the city's population (according to the 2019 ACS Census Bureau Community Survey), but continue to be underrepresented in politics, jobs and opportunities. Post-Hurricane Maria, the Puerto Rican Population in Philadelphia has significantly increased. How can this impact or change the face of politics in the region? What is the future of Puerto Rico? How can political action change the narrative?
