OUR MISSION

We bring together and mobilize Puerto Rican youth—on the island and in the diaspora—through culture, education, and politics. United by a vision of justice and decolonization, we are here to reshape the present and reclaim Puerto Rico’s future.

OUR VISION

We dream of a Puerto Rico where youth lead social change—connected to a diasporic and global network where justice, sovereignty, and dignity are at the heart of building bonds for transformation.

OUR PILLARS

Fighting for Puerto Rico's climate future and the self determination and decolonization of our people.

We provide local youth activists, organizers, and social justice workers with tools to think creatively about their organizing efforts and broader social change strategies by way of fellowships, retreats, workshops, training and the creation of healing justice spaces.

We foster opportunities for meaningful alliances between youth-led organizations on the archipelago and organizations based in the diaspora and connect common visions and goals.

We create opportunities for young social justice leaders in Puerto Rico to connect with global anti-colonial movements across the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world.

OUR WORK: The Highlights

Economic Justice Advocacy

We are is playing a key role in efforts of the Puerto Rico No Se Vende campaign, a multi-sectoral campaign that seeks to end Act 22 tax exemptions in Puerto Rico and combat the displacement of Puerto Ricans across the archipelago.

Youth Mobilizing

Over a dozen young people from across Puerto Rico joined our first National Youth Gathering; a weekend of leadership development and strategic thinking around youth-led campaigns that can have a major impact on the island’s residents.

Cultural Activations

Co-hosted the Liberation Summer Series in 2023; a concert, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The event served as a powerful recruiting and mobilizing moment for new participants and allies of La Tejedora.
