CORRECTION: A part of my video about food sovereignty describing the Jones Act has been cut out because it was inaccurate. I said the Jones Act prohibits foreign ships from traveling between U.S. ports. That was incorrect. What the Jones Act does is require that maritime vessels moving goods from one US port to another be US-built, US-owned, US-crewed, and US-registered. A foreign ship can go straight to Puerto Rico on its way to Florida, as long as it's not transporting goods from PR to FL or viceversa. I apologize for my mistake and thank the CATO Institute for reaching out to point out the error.

First the United States colonized Puerto Rico andHawai’i, then they destroyed their ability to feed themselves. This is the story of the Puerto Ricans returning to the land to work towards food sovereignty.
