Shout out to Zoe Saldana for her viral video on the continued plight in PR. The mega movie star shared some historical information about the American territory and made the case why it is every bit as important as every other region in America. There are parts of Puerto Rico that are doing better, but there are regions of the island that are still without power — the longest power outage in U.S. history. Meanwhile, Chef José Andrés and his charity, World Central Kitchen, have served over 3 million meals in PR since Maria hit the island and in the process have reinvented how recovery efforts in the future need to operate. Chef Andrés is a saint! We need to continue to step up and help PR.
“These Americans need our help” — Zoe Saldana.
NAHREP has reasons for both optimism and concern about a second Trump term...
With the presidential election only three weeks away, partisans on both sides are taking off the gloves with rhetoric that vilifies their opponents and fires up their minions. Most people believe that our country is more divided than ever. Indeed, the days when liberal and conservative candidates can debate their views respectfully seem like a distant memory. At the risk of oversimplifying things too much, let me cut to the chase about what is driving the divisions in the country.
NAHREP shares data at conferences to build a more accurate narrative about the Latino community from an economic perspective. Sharing that data with attendees, influential business leaders, and media at the event helps achieve that goal while arming them with information that can give them a competitive advantage with their businesses.
