Food insecurity in Puerto Rico is a policy choice, a policy choice that is putting the lives and the livelihood of Puerto Ricans in danger. It's past time Congress address its role in this crisis.

Women across the #UScolonies continue working toward food security & food sufficiency by decolonizing the supply chain 🌱✊🏾 Via @bgraulau: Here’s some good news: Proyecto El Josco Bravo has taught more than 1,000 Puerto Ricans to grow food. Another step towards #FoodSovereignty.
"Demand for factory employees sapped farm work forces, meaning that less & less food was grown domestically. Now, low-wage workers relying on food stamps go to the supermarkets to purchase shipped-in food, continuing a cycle of money leaving the island." 👀nytimes.com/2021/10/01/opi…

A #US invasion on July 25, 1898- *125 yrs ago* - is why, today, Puerto Ricans have been denied the right to lead the economic & political life of their homeland. Shouldn't the world's oldest colony have the right to pursue #selfdetermination & democracy? #PuertoRico Status Act
