Puerto Rico Self-Determination

Abstract

Expresses support for the right of the people of Puerto Rico to pursue self-determination. Expresses opposition to the Puerto Rico Status Act due to concerns over its inadequacy in facilitating a fair and democratic process for Puerto Ricans to determine their future given the lack of critical information over status definitions, the controlling language of government operations, transitions, taxes, Puerto Rico's separate Olympic representation, citizenship, and other key matters. Endorses the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act as a constructive approach towards enabling the people of Puerto Rico to explore and decide upon their future political status through a democratic and participatory process. Encourages our federal representatives to support legislation and initiatives that align with the principles of self-determination and democracy for Puerto Rico.
