On Saturday, August 15, 2026, ProLibertad Freedom Campaign said, “Join us tomorrow as we March for Puerto Rican Independence! As we say no to La Junta! Help us Demand an end to the energy, water, and displacement crises! 1pm tomorrow in the South Bronx! ¡Únete a nosotros mañana en la marcha por la independencia de Puerto Rico! ¡Digamos no a la Junta! ¡Ayúdanos a exigir el fin de las crisis de energía, agua y desplazamiento! ¡Mañana a la 1:00 p. m. en el sur del Bronx!”
On August 10, 2026, Diaspora Pa’lante Collective NYC.NJ said, “Join us THIS SUNDAY, August 16th at 1pm in the South Bronx as we march for the independence of our nation. Bring your people, your voice, your flags, and your signs – we have a limited number to hand out! Meet us at Lincoln Hospital (E 149th St. and Morris Ave).
Our archipelago is in a state of emergency, and NOW is the time to act! While the government continues to sell Puerto Rico off to the highest bidder, Boricuas are facing water, energy, and cost of living crises. JGo wants us to believe it’s a matter of personal responsibility, but we know the truth: the issue is more than a century of COLONIALISM and a system that devalues Puerto Rican life and wellbeing.
We march desde la diáspora because we know the struggle doesn’t stop on the archipelago. From Borikén to the Bronx, our fight is one against US imperialism! ¡Que viva Puerto Rico libre!”
On August 10, 2026, André Fabian Cervantes said, “Join the march and support these communities and it’s people fighting for independence! This march is dedicated to Puerto Rican independence, putting an end to the Essencia project which threatens to destroy their ecosystems, local wildlife and colonize more of their land through the mega development of luxury buildings for the rich. Say no to La Junta!”
André Fabian Cervantes añadió en Español, “La marcha empieza este fin de semana en el Sur del Bronx luchando por la independencia y la autonomía de la gente latino que vive en Puerto Rico y también para acabar con el proyecto Essencia que va a destruir su ecosistema local, colonizar su territorio por la construcción de edificios lujosos y matara a fauna silvestre. Diga no a La Junta!”
“Today is the 128th Anniversary of the US invasion of Puerto Rico! It is also the anniversary of our National Liberation struggle! Join us on Sunday, August 16th at 1pm in the South Bronx as we march for Puerto Rican independence!” said ProLibertad Freedom Campaign on July 25, 2026.
