Tonight, Thursday September 5th
7:30 PM in Philip E. Austin 445
Despite the resignation of Ricardo Rossello, most of Puerto Rico's problems remain: a crushing debt, an accompanying program of Island-wide austerity, the fiscal review board, and a colonial relationship with the U.S.
Join UConn Youth for Socialist Action in a discussion of Puerto Rico rooted in the perspectives of on-the-ground activists, Diasporicans, and intellectuals.
Speakers:
Jason Ortiz - an activist working with the CT chapter of Puerto Rican Agenda (NPRACT)
Luis J. Beltra-Alvarez - a Political Science Ph.D. Candidate at UConn
Jorell A. Meléndez Badillo - received his Ph.D. in History and Latin American Studies here at UConn
