In these videos Calle 13 (and a number of prominent Puerto Rican and Latin American artists through video message) support the struggles of of Puerto Rican students fighting against the privatization of the University of Puerto Rico and state divestment from education. This video was super powerful for me and really impressive.
Many scholars of neoliberalism are pointing to the ways in which Latin America is at the vanguard of anti-neoliberal struggles. This video reminds us that Puerto Rico IS also part of Latin America and is also at the forefront of crucial struggles for social justice.
Education is a right and the students at the University of Puerto Ricans are reminding the world of that.
Que Vivan Los Estudiantes!!!

René y Eduardo,
como figuras públicas que son y al igual que el video que publicaron, por favor sean los ángeles guardianes de estos estudiantes. Esos guardias lo van a pensar dos veces antes de darle un macanaso a René y Eduardo junto a otras celebridades.
Ustedes saben lo que es luchar por la patria, ustedes representan mucho más que la juventud puertorriqueña, confío y creo en ustedes.
No más sangre, no más lágrimas.
