NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- On this edition of Tiempo, we hear more about the work and mission of the LatinoJustice Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) amid federal attacks on the U.S. judicial branch of government.
Dating back 50 years ago, the national nonprofit has a half-century history of advocating and challenging the rule of law to empower the Latino community.
The organization started after three Puerto Rican attorneys used the legal system to challenge the inequities against the Puerto Rican diaspora in NYC.
Joining us to discuss the recent attacks on law and how it affects Latinos is the president of the organization, Lourdes Rosado.
Meanwhile, New York City's Latin Restaurant Weeks is back!
