Union for Puerto Rican Students at UIC

The 2026 Puerto Rican Studies Association Conference in Chicago is officially live. The theme is “Rooted Rican Pasts, Solidarity Futures”.

🇵🇷

Hurricane Melissa has devastated communities across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, destroying homes and livelihoods, and cutting off access to food, clean water, electricity, and medical care.

The Union of Puerto Rican Students in collaboration with The Caribbean Coalition is mobilizing to meet urgent needs. Our immediate goal is to raise $20,000 to provide direct support to the most impacted communities and grassroots partners on the ground. Funds will go toward essential relief, including food, medical supplies, hygiene and menstrual products, and other critical provisions.
