We support the efforts of the Puerto Rico Statehood Council (PRSC) and many others who have been working for years to achieve equality for the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico through statehood. PR51st serves to inform, engage and activate support for Puerto Rico statehood in ways that are compelling, interactive, fact-based and easy to share.

The PSRC and other PR51st platforms are the best way to explore the merits of statehood for Puerto Rico. On their websites you find out what is happening in the statehood movement as it unfolds. More importantly, you will also find compelling articles about why it’s the right thing to do and consistent with American values.

The United States is the champion of democracy around the world, taking pride in patriotic claims to equality and justice. Yet millions of our fellow citizens are governed without their consent and without equal representation. How long has this been going on you ask? Puerto Rico has been a territory of the United States since 1898.

It is far past the time to end the practice of treating 3.5 million people of Puerto Rico as second-class citizens. If you agree then join, volunteer, and donate.
