Simple Explanation
The people in charge of making sure everyone is treated fairly will have a meeting online to talk about how some old rules affect the rights of people in Puerto Rico, and anyone can watch and share their thoughts. They will talk in Spanish, with English translations, but people might find it tricky to know how to join or what time it starts.
