2025 Puerto Rico | Puerto Ricans in Connecticut

The primary goal of the conference is to provide a safe space for the discussion of policy issues and the articulation of community responses to the crisis from the perspective of stateside Puerto Ricans and other stakeholders in Connecticut. To achieve this goal the conference program is designed to balanced topics related to the economic, electoral, social and political issues affecting Puerto Ricans in Connecticut. The first part of the conference will take place on Saturday morning and will provide a demographic and political overview of the status of Puerto Ricans in Connecticut. The second part of the conference will take place after lunch and will provide a series of breakout sessions to address some of these concerns. We are interested in developing an agenda to move forward with coalition building and discuss how the Puerto Rican and Latino Caucus, CT State Legislators and UConn’s Puerto Rican Studies Initiative can play a supportive role in the future.
