The ProLibertad Freedom
Campaign is an anti-imperialist campaign that supports the release of all U.S.
political prisoners and completely opposes the United States' colonial control
of Puerto Rico.
Initially, ProLibertad was
composed of individuals who worked together on a broad and unitary basis,
accepting differences of ideological and political position, but sharing the
responsibility to support the Puerto Rican political prisoners, prisoners of
war, and prisoners of conscience who have been imprisoned for their political
convictions and activities in the cause of Puerto Rico's ongoing struggle for
independence and right to self-determination.
As of now, there are no
Puerto Rican Political Prisoner, Prisoners of War, or Prisoners of Conscience
for our campaign to rally around, but Puerto Rico continues to languish under
U.S. colonial control. Therefore, our campaign is focused on educational programs,
ongoing lobbying efforts, public pressure work, and related initiatives to end
U.S. colonialism in Puerto Rico.
What we do and our coalition work:
The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign organizes
community forums on various topics related to Puerto Rican independence
issues.
We screen films on Puerto Rican resistance history
and provide filmmakers with an opportunity to talk about their work.
We provide activists from Puerto Rico and
throughout our diaspora an opportunity, in person or via Zoom, to update
our supporters on the work they do for social justice and liberation.
We organize demonstrations, rallies, pickets, or
protests to address repression, the violation of worker’s rights, or the
arrests of activists.
ProLibertad works with the National Jericho Movement
to support the release of all U.S. held Political Prisoners.
We work with the NY/NJ CubaSí Coalition to end the unjust Blockade
against Cuba.
We are a founding member of The Puerto Rico is Not for
Campaign, which works to dismantle PROMESA and La Junta Fiscal in Puerto
Rico.
We are a founding member of El Ministerio de
Solidaridad con los Pueblos of Holyrood Church, which does work to support
Latin American liberation movements.
