"On November 3, 2020, an undisputable majority of 53% of Puerto Rico's voters demanded change in a locally sponsored referendum calling for full democracy and equality through statehood."

"Last November, voters stood up to change that when an absolute majority of 53% demanded statehood in a locally sponsored referendum."

"H.R. 1522's legitimacy was not manufactured politically, behind closed doors, but is the product of democracy itself, by the voice of our people."
