We call on people and social movements in the United States to support the present struggle of the people of Puerto Rico for self determination and justice.

 

We call of US people and social movements to get informed on the events in Puerto Rico

 

We call on US people and social movements to re-build the solidarity movement with the struggle of Puerto Rico!

 

We call on US people and social movements to support the National Strike called for October 15, 2009!!!
