Esperanza United

DECLARACIÓN OFICIAL: Esperanza United condena el discurso de odio contra Puerto Rico y las comunidades latinas «Esperanza United condena los discursos de odio de donde sea que los escuchemos, especialmente cuando ingresan en nuestra conversación política. Durante el fin de semana, y por medio de ‘bromas’, nuestras comunidades fueron denigradas y atacadas, con un enfoque particular en Puerto Rico y su diáspora. En Esperanza United nos repugnan estos comentarios y expresamos nuestro apoyo a la hermosa y dinámica comunidad boricua, que de ninguna manera está representada por esta caracterización llena de odio.» https://lnkd.in/gbN89-As

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Esperanza United condemns hate speech against Puerto Rico and Latin@ communities "Esperanza United decries hate speech wherever we hear it, even and especially when it enters our political conversation. Over the weekend and hiding behind 'jokes,' our communities were denigrated and attacked, taking particular aim at Puerto Rico and its diaspora. We at Esperanza United are disgusted by these remarks and stand with the beautiful, dynamic Boricua community that is in no way represented by this hateful characterization." https://lnkd.in/gpKpqmNX
