Though it’s disappointing that the Scottish independence “yes” vote lost by 10% in the Thursday’s referendum, it is a process with which progressive, pro-independence Puerto Rican political activists should become familiar.

The Scots taught us that a clear and viable message, intense organizing, and a keen understanding of community are grounds on which the future can be built.
