The National Puerto Rican Agenda – NY Chapter cordially invites you to our Bi-Annual Convention, December 6, 2025, at Boricua College-Manhattan Campus

Please save the date for this transformative opportunity to unite in fortifying our public policy advocacy efforts across New York. Join fellow Chapter members, state and local organizations, elected officials, and community stakeholders as we gather in support and in service of the Puerto Rican community. Together, we will share best practices and organize our support of non-partisan legislation and policies that remove the barriers of economic, educational, and healthcare inequities for the NY Puerto Rican community.

At the event, we will also convene as a Convention and elect the Chapter’s leadership for the next 2 years.
