'No' al Código Civil
Keep up your work in the States, and take a look also at the States' largest colony: Puerto Rico's government is using the protest to pass legislation without due process. This legislation, among other things, would legalize conversion therapy, strip the right to a home of the children of LGBTQ couples and divorced couples, and privatize vast areas of Puerto Rico's public and protected lands.

The translation of the text at the petition is:
"On May 11, the Puerto Rican Senate passed a series of amendments which attack the rights of Puerto Ricans. The passed them without public review, without citizen participation, behind closed doors. Senators took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic and of the vulnerability of Puerto Ricans to push forward their agendas. As a people, we must unite in reclaiming our rights and we must repudiate the very existence of this violent Civil Code."
