(B) EDUCATING STUDENTS AND ACTIVISTS TO BE DIGNIFIED SELFLESS GUARDIANS AND ADVOCATES OF STRUCTURAL DIVERSITY IN ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, BY COACHING STUDENTS AND ACTIVISTS TO BECOME SENSITIVE AND ENLIGHTENED DELIBERATE PARTICIPANTS IN SOCIETY, TEACHING THEM TO THINK AND NAVIGATE THROUGHOUT LIFE AS TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERS WITH AN ETHICAL AND MORAL COMPASS ON DARKEST LONELY PATHS WHERE NO JUST LAWS EXIST FOR RACIAL EQUITY. PUERTO RICO (C) DIVERSITY THINK TANK SHALL RENEW A VIBRANT ADVOCACY FOR PUERTO RICO EDUCATING THE PUBLIC TO REQUEST THAT CONGRESS REVISIT SECTION 936 TAX POLICY. THE DIVERSITY THINK TANK WILL ALSO FOCUS ON MUCH NEEDED SOCIAL SERVICES, INCLUDING ADVOCATING FOR A SPECIAL PROVISION TO CHANGE THE MINIMUM INCOME REQUIREMENTS FOR PUERTO RICANS TO QUALIFY FOR CERTAIN FEDERAL PROGRAMS. PUERTO RICANS EARN FAR LESS THAN PEOPLE ON THE MAINLAND; THEREFORE, IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT U.S. FEDERAL INCOME POVERTY GUIDELINE REQUIREMENTS ARE THE SAME IN PUERTO RICO AS THE MAINLAND UNITED STATES. |
