“For many years the grounds of Castillo San Felipe del Morro has been a site for enjoying picnics, flying kites, recreation as well as people enjoying the park with their pets.We want this event to continue fostering such use and emphasize that pets are welcome with their families to enjoy this area of the fortification and at the same time they can help us in keeping this special place clean and safe for all visitors of the fortifications of San Juan National Historic Site ”, said San Juan National Historic Site Superintendent, Walter J. Chavez.

LULAC YOUTH PUERTO RICO was there to contribute and was a tremendous success.

Thanks to the Youth that showed up, the Young Adults had a great turn out at the DREAM Act Vigil! Remember “There’s no power like the power of the Youth, ‘cause the power of the Youth don’t stop, say whaaaaaaaaaat!” 

Once again, thank you for your support! (DALLAS, TX)

Tumblr Insights: Election 2012 Report

With the U.S. presidential campaign already off to a roaring start, news from the Republican primary contests has been a major topic across Tumblr. As we near another crescendo in Florida, we were curious how the campaign—from the numerous debates and rallies, to election ads and gaffes—has played out so far in terms of the type and quantity of attention received by each candidate on Tumblr.

The first graph shows how frequently each candidate’s name appeared in posts. The second shows other tags most frequently associated with each candidate. We’re most impressed with the viral power of one creative concept blog: When Rick Perry’s Unpopular Opinions sprang up as a parody of one of Perry’s campaign videos, he easily became the most blogged candidate overnight.

Our Insights team will be bringing you more data as the campaigns progress!

Is LULAC youth following this movement?

A new study from researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles found that passage of the DREAM Act and inclusion of students in U.S. educational and professional institutions could generate between $1.4 and $3.6 trillion (current) dollars in the next 40 years, based on the amount of income these people could generate as professionals.
