A letter signed by more than 30 progressive organizations is calling for the Biden-Harris administration to establish clear priorities for Puerto Rico. The letter, shared with Latino Rebels on Tuesday morning, lists several policy initiatives for the island—including a full repeal of PROMESA and debt cancellation, the promotion of a just recovery for Puerto Rico, and immediately initiating a process of decolonization and self-determination.

The full letter, both in English and Spanish, is below.

The letter was released the same day that some of the organizations who signed the letter headed down to Delaware and raise awareness of policy priorities:

President-Elect @JoeBiden, in order to accomplish #FreedomTogether, we demand action in the first 100 days on the following critical issues:

✅#WeAreHome
✅#CareNotCages
✅#CancelTheDebt

Black, brown, and immigrant communities showed up, it's time to deliver! pic.twitter.com/bOx7gh5l9E
