In a heartfelt campaign video shared on social media, the Grammy-winning artist highlights Harris’s commitment to Puerto Rico, calling for change and real action for the island he calls home.
A Powerful Call to Action for Puerto Rico
Bad Bunny, known for his advocacy on issues affecting Puerto Rico and Latinx communities, took the opportunity to remind his millions of followers about the importance of political engagement. The video opens with striking visuals of Puerto Rico’s landscapes and its people, set to Bad Bunny’s own music, underscoring his personal connection to the island. With both a calm and urgent tone, he speaks about the need for leaders who will prioritize the welfare of Puerto Rico, emphasizing that Harris has pledged to focus on issues impacting the island, from economic challenges to natural disaster relief.
