Expression of support to right of self-determination for people of Puerto Rico, opposition to Puerto Rico Status Act, and endorsement of Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act
Chicago's City Council, including Alderperson Jessie Fuentes of the 26 Ward, passed a resolution supporting Puerto Rico's self-determination, opposing the Puerto Rico Status Act, and endorsing the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under US jurisdiction since 1898, seeks political status resolution, demonstrated through referendums. The principle of self-determination, enshrined in the UN Charter, is key. The resolution encourages federal support and was delivered to the Illinois congressional delegation.
