Puerto Rico Statehood Council

The Puerto Rico Statehood Council is an organization advocating for Puerto Rico's admission as the 51st state of the United States. Established in 2008, it promotes the benefits of statehood, aiming to enhance the territory's political representation and economic opportunities. The Council engages in public discussions, education efforts, and outreach programs to inform both Puerto Ricans and the broader American public about the advantages of statehood, such as equal rights and access to federal resources. Ultimately, it seeks to unify support for a statehood referendum to determine the island's future status.
