ABSTRACT
The Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association is known for having helped in the coordination of absentee voting, which assisted in the electoral victory of Luis Fortuno as Governor of Puerto Rico and the government change to Partido Nuevo Progresista ruling in 2008. After the national strike, the student action committees deemed it their responsibility to continue mobilizing as a student network. Thus, the student action committees carried on their activism inside University of Puerto Rico (UPR) by holding assemblies and manifestations at each of the schools. In conjunction with the Consejo General de Estudiantes, the student action committees fostered active participation from the entire university community.
