PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE NYC
PHOTO GALLERY

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

In June of 2024, Artists for Puerto Rico took part in the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City. The parade is the oldest and longest-running Latino heritage parade in New York City and the largest demonstration of cultural pride in the nation. We took the opportunity to march alongside other independence groups turning the parade into a protest against the American imperialism and colonization of the country of Puerto Rico. At the red carpet ‘photo opp,’ Artists for Puerto Rico and Victory in Puerto Rico staged a ‘die in’ which was immediately met with police escalation that resulted in an arrest.
