🎥 A snippet from part 4 of the documentary “La Esencia del Conflicto,” directed by @gaboramospr 🇵🇷 Whether in NYC, Jersey, Orlando, Chicago, or anywhere else in the diaspora, we are Boricua. When you’re on the island that means we are one: One people, one community. That doesn’t change just because we’re stateside. ❌¡ESENCIA NO VA!❌ We must resist; fight back; and protect what is ours. Whether that be family, memories, land or graves; culture, traditions; or more importantly— connection and community. Connection to each other and to the earth… Otherwise, what will our heirs inherit? ¡Solo el Pueblo salva al Pueblo! Together we can win. ✍🏽 Link to petition in bio.

🪶🌀HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY! 🔅✊🏽 From all of us at Victory In Puerto Rico (V.I.PR.), we honor our Taíno ancestors and Indigenous peoples worldwide! WE DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS! We refuse to glorify a man whose arrival ushered in centuries of colonization, enslavement, and genocide throughout Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the Americas. OUR ANCESTORS WERE NOT DISCOVERED. THEY WERE INVADED! Despite centuries of attempted erasure, our Indigenous roots remain alive in our bloodlines🩸, culture, and traditions. We are descendants of warriors and survivors, and their legacy will NEVER be forgotten! ¡QUE VIVA BORIKÉN! ¡VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE! #IndigenousPeoplesDay #VIPR #Taino #Boriken

🎤 Today’s hearing on Resolutions 27, 28, and 494, proposed by @alexaforcouncil. 🇵🇷 We will not be silenced. We will not allow them to erase us, and for damn sure we will not be forgotten. We have persevered and will continue to do so. The determination and will-power within the Boricua individual is unmeasurable. As we take steps to unify, and defend each other; remember that our actions will have effects for 7 generations to come. It is now our time to defend ourselves, our culture, our history, and the future we’ll leave behind. Grateful to everyone in this fight. Pa’lante! ✊🏽🙌🏽 #nyc #puertorico #vivapuertoricolibre #community

🇵🇷 NJ March for Independence | 8.29.2026 📸 @nycvibes21 This year we chose to march in NJ. While Boricuas on the island marched for independence, marched in defense of the land, we were here; in the states, doing the same. Putting out a signal of solidarity; a signal of unity. The fight for Puerto Rico must reach across all cities, and all states in which the diaspora lives. As this is written, our people are still rationing water, are still facing constant black outs, and are STILL fighting to protect sacred land; fighting to keep what is rightfully theirs. We must join in with them. And as we do, we must also continue to build; our communities, our message, our service… because no one is coming to save us. We are who we’ve been waiting for. What we choose to do now, will having lasting effects for generations to come. #ElPuebloSalvaAlPueblo #esencianova #puertorico🇵🇷 …None of us are free unless we’re all free… ¡Viva Puerto Rico Libre! 🇵🇷 ¡Viva Palestina Libre! 🇵🇸 Sign the petition: ¡Esencia No Va!

WE KEEPING OUR FOOT ON THEY NECK!!! 💯✊🏽 This Saturday, we’re taking it to the streets of Jersey City to MARCH FOR PUERTO RICAN INDEPENDENCE! The water crisis, our crumbling infrastructure, the sliced University of PR budget, The Jones Act, Act 60, The privatization of our electrical grid, The privatization of our beaches and sacred land, the forced displacement, and now Esencia, a proposed mega-project threatening nearly 2,000 acres of thriving ecosystem in Cabo Rojo. Different issues, same root: COLONIALISM! As long as Puerto Rico remains a colony of the United States, our land, resources and communities will continue to be treated as something to exploit and sell to the highest bidder. INDEPENDENCE IS THE ONLY ANSWER…. This Saturday, we march for the liberation of our land in solidarity with our people back home who continue to suffer the consequences of colonialism, but WILL NOT be defeated!!! ✊🏽 #TheTimeIsNOW Speakers. Bomba y Plena. Poetry. Resistance. We’re taking it straight to Jersey City Hall. JOIN US! 📍 MEET: Grove Street PATH Station 🕙 10:00 AM 🚨 MARCH BEGINS 10:30AM SHARP - DON’T BE LATE! #VamosPáLaCalle #EsenciaNoVa #NoWaterNoPeace #JerseyCityMarchForPuertoRicanIndependence 🆓🇵🇷

🗽BK🇵🇷 El Grito’s 10th Annual Sunset Park Parade … A parade for the people, by the people. One that is committed to preserving our history, our culture, our heritage. It’s such a different experience being on 5th Ave. The curators of Bori People parades are not in it for the clout. They are boots on the ground everyday in our communities. Not just during June, EVERY DAY. And I am so grateful to know them, so grateful to be part of this movement of self-determination. Pa’lante! I would not have chosen anywhere else to be on 6.14.26!!
