Goal: to examine various aspects of stateside Puerto Ricans’ political participation and engagement, especially as they relate to the ongoing presidential season and the role that community organizations and leaders play in swing states with large number of Puerto Rican voters (OH, FL, and PA). Panelists are engaged in political mobilization at the local level and are part of broader coalitions for voter registration and mobilization.
