Answer

No, Right to Democracy does not favor any particular status option over another, other than to reject the undemocratic colonial framework that currently governs U.S. territories. We are careful in our work not to put a “thumb on the scale” of any status result. Our core belief is that the future political status of each territory must be determined by the people of each territory.

What is Right to Democracy? Does Right to Democracy take a position on what is the “best” political status? Why does Right to Democracy work with people and organizations who have different views on political status and political ideology? What do you mean by the “undemocratic colonial framework”? What are some specific examples of how this colonial legal framework impacts people in the Territories? Does Right to Democracy believe the issue of U.S. colonial rule is a domestic civil rights issue or an international question of self-determination?
