In this episode, we talk with Melissa Mark Viverito, former 8th District NYC Council and Power 4 Puerto Rico Campaign Manager, about the diaspora fight for Puerto Rico’s self-determination, the manipulation behind status plebiscites in Puerto Rico, the “Puerto Ricans voted for statehood” narrative and the so called status consensus bill that went nowhere because diaspora groups pushed back. Don’t miss it! We explain it all!
