Hello everyone,

Puerto Rico: Open Your Eyes was created with a simple purpose: to inform, educate, and encourage meaningful conversations about Puerto Rico’s history, present realities, and future possibilities.

Every week, we share videos, articles, research, and commentary designed to explore topics that are often overlooked or rarely discussed. Our goal is not to tell people what to think, but to encourage people to ask questions, seek information, and stay engaged.

As many of you know, social media platforms can change overnight. Algorithms decide what content reaches people, and important information can easily get lost.

That is why we have established our community on Substack.

Substack allows us to communicate directly with our audience, share updates, publish research, and continue important conversations without relying solely on social media platforms.

Subscribing is free. However, if you value the work we are doing, we invite you to consider becoming a Supporting Member for just $5 per month.

Your membership helps us continue creating content, conducting research, expanding our outreach, and growing a community dedicated to education, dialogue, and civic engagement.

The stronger our community becomes on Substack, the less dependent we are on any single platform to stay connected.

If you would like to support our work and stay informed, please look for the link in the description below and join our community today.

Stay informed with our latest articles, research, commentary, podcast updates, and special announcements delivered directly to your inbox.

I am Edwin Ortiz, and this is Puerto Rico: Open Your Eyes.

Until next time.
