This weekend, Diaspora Pa’lante Collective’s Florida members answered the call to join the Week of Action against the U.S. War Machine. This system, built on repression, has long targeted our communities, from ICE’s terror to the surveillance and control tested first on Indigenous people, descendants of enslaved Africans, and migrants. What we’re witnessing only reaffirms what we’ve always known: our safety comes from each other. As repression expands into protest suppression and mass surveillance, community defense and solidarity are not optional, they’re necessary.
On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, members of DPC, Miami PSL, BAP South, and FIU YDSA took action against the visit of Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González at FIU. The Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom hosted González to speak on “Powering Puerto Rico’s Future” through investment and infrastructure. But what we witnessed was the open auctioning off of Puerto Rico, packaged as “opportunity” and tied to the ongoing push for statehood.

Together, we raised our voices against the gentrification displacing boricuas, the harmful collaboration with ICE (including the reported transfer of confidential data from thousands of immigrants, many of whom were trafficked to Alligator Alcatraz) and the remilitarization of our islands. We demanded a future rooted in dignity, sovereignty, and the establishment of a Zone of Peace in our Americas. U.S. OUT OF EVERYWHERE! VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE Y SOCIALISTA!

On International Workers’ Day, we take to the streets to celebrate the sacrifices and triumphs of all who give their blood and sweat to obtain a decent and dignified living, to reap the fruits of their labor, to sustain themselves and their families. In the factories and fields, classrooms and kitchens, and on the battlefields where the oppressed and exploited work day and night to resist imperialism by force of arms, the laboring masses remain the engine of social and political transformation, advancing humanity day by day.
Juan Antonio Corretjer reminds us that our independence movement will prosper or fail in direct relation to the intensity and honesty of our relations with the working class. Today, our commitment to national sovereignty and self-determination is upheld by the battle against LUMA and the austerity agenda of the Fiscal Control Board; by our collective commitment to defend the University of Puerto Rico as an institution for the benefit of our people; by our resistance to the living conditions imposed upon us and our determination to survive with our pride and dignity intact.
To the Puerto Rican working class belongs the future of an independent and socialist Puerto Rico!

FILIBERTO RECAP: On Sunday, 04/26/26, DPC South Florida members hosted a film screening to commemorate Filiberto Ojeda Ríos. Filiberto fought relentlessly for the liberation of our country with the Macheteros, a clandestine political and military organization⚔️ Following the screening, we shared our reflections, had a rich discussion on the objectives of los Macheteros, community self defense, and the role of the diaspora today. Collectively, we fundraised nearly $150 to donate to @brigadasolidariadeloeste a grassroots organization in west Puerto Rico, mobilizing their communities to join the #NoaEsencia fight in Cabo Rojo, PR.
Thank you to everyone who joined us!
¡Filiberto Vive! ¡TODO BORICUA MACHETEROS! 🇵🇷
April 17th is known as Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, recognizing political prisoners as central to Palestinian liberation. More than 10,000 men, women, and children are being held hostage in Israeli prisons - living under conditions that are difficult for most of us to imagine. The Puerto Rican struggle for national liberation shares this history of our freedom fighters being imprisoned by our colonizer as the fight continues to liberate our lands.
The poem “Conspiración” was written by Carmen Valentín Pérez, a former political prisoner of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN). Today, we dedicate this poem to the brave and steadfast Palestinian people that continue to fight for their freedom.
Down with US imperialism and Zionism! Que viva Palestina y Puerto Rico libre! 🇵🇸🇵🇷
