The time is now Puerto Rico.

 The time is now for Puerto Rico to take autonomy into its hands. Puerto Rico is currently considered a U.S. territory. The U.S controls the politics and economic state of Puerto Rico; the people do not have ownership of their governing system. Puerto Ricans may participate in U.S presidential elections' primary, but they cannot vote in the Presidential elections. 

                  A new bill was proposed to the U.S congress members, by Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nydia Velazquez, and senator Bob Mendez, the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act of 2020. This bill will "recognize the right of the People of Puerto Rico to call a status convention through which the people would exercise their natural right to self-determination, and to establish a mechanism for congressional consideration of such decision, and for other purposes." Puerto Rico must regain sovereignty to create a society that is equitable and accessible for the people of Puerto Rico. The United States or outside sources that have not understood Puerto Rico's needs cannot continue to make critical decisions for the people.

                   The call-to-action flyer design will display the Puerto Rican flag and the national colors red, white, and blue. The flyer will also have hands that are breaking free from chains, and within the chains, it will say "The United States of America." The bottom corner will be a graphic reflecting the coqui frog: an animal that Puerto Rico is known for and uses as Puerto Rican symbolism. 

                   The time is now for Puerto Rican liberation and autonomy. The proposed Puerto Rico Self Determination Act of 2020 is the beginning. The bill will only allow for Puerto Ricans to state their opinion on becoming an official state or complete removal as a U.S territory. People of the United States need to call their congress members and advocate for Puerto Rico's self-determination and freedom.

Support Black Owned Business

  The summer of 2020 once again highlighted significant disparities that Black people and other minorities face here in the United States. " In the United States Only 4.3% of the United States' 22.2 million business owners are Black, according to  a February 2020 Brookings Institute report ." This is due to the systemic racist structures within the United States that historically have been weaponized against the Black community. From education to entrepreneurship, it is clear the United States has not done enough to provide equality and equity to Black communities.   It's time to celebrate, embrace, and support the local Black businesses in your area. One might ask why it's necessary or why it even matters? The truth is every dollar that is spent within local businesses provides more economic value to those direct communities. The wealth is spread literally. If the people have the power to be a positive difference within the local or neighboring communities, that...
