  PRSUN Radio to interview NCPRR's Victor Vazquez
  

  Victor Vazquez, board president of the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights, will speak with PRSUN Radio at 9 p.m. May 6, a Wednesday.

  
  

  Here's some info. about the NCPRR as published on its website:

  
  

  In 1981, Puerto Rican activists from around the country founded the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights (NCPRR). For more than 20 years the NCPRR engaged in grassroots campaigns in many cities, including a march on Washington DC. Recently, a group of former activists of the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights and newer activists from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Connecticut and New Jersey, among others have reconstituted the NCPRR in the firm belief that there is still a need for this voice locally and nationally. Our main goal is to continue to develop a national political network that raises issues and supports causes of interest to the Puerto Rican community, specifically but also to all Latinos generally. Please join us.
   

  What does the NCPRR do?

  • ADVOCATES for the civil rights of Puerto Ricans and other Latinos.
    
  • EDUCATES its members and the community about the issues affecting the Puerto Ricans and ways to improve them.
  • PROMOTES political action through voter education and getting out the vote.
    
  • INFORMS elected representatives and public officials about our community's problems, needs and ways of addressing them.
  • SERVES as a voice for Boricuas who cannot advocate for themselves.
  • ENGAGES in activities to preserve and develop our language and culture.

  
  

  
  

  The NCPRR is planning to celebrate its national convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 9-11.

  Victor Vazquez will fill PRSUN Radio listeners in about the NCPRR and its upcoming convention.
