    February 14, 2018 The Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La Fortaleza P.O. Box 9020082 San Juan, PR 00902-0082 Dear Governor Rosselló, I write as president of the American Statistical Association to respectfully urge you to keep Puerto Rico’s statistical agency, El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, PRIS), and its board of directors fully independent. I also draw your attention to the 2,800 individuals—and still growing—who have signed a petition with this same request.1 At this critical historical juncture, Puerto Rico needs accurate, objective, and timely statistics. Government statistics empower the economy, serve the health and welfare of citizens, improve governance, and inform decisions and policies in the public and private sectors, among many other vital functions. Government statistics are also fundamental to evidence-based policymaking, the engagement of which is on a rapid rise in local, state, and federal governments. To address the challenges posed by its decade-long economic recession and the devastation of back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico must chart its path toward sustainable recovery using reputable and reliable data and statistical methods. Because of their broad and profound importance, it is imperative that government statistics be produced through rigorous scientific processes and analyses performed by experts that can function without improper outside influence. Government statistics must be independent, objective, accurate, and timely and be perceived as such. It is just as important to have adequate statistics on a variety of topics. PRIS has demonstrated repeatedly it has the expertise to function independently to produce rigorous, objective, and accurate statistics for the benefit of Puerto Rico and its people.

  • Honorable Thomas Rivera Schatz President of the Senate of Puerto Rico Senado‐El Capitolio P.O
    Honorable Thomas Rivera Schatz President of the Senate of Puerto Rico Senado‐El Capitolio P.O. Box 9023431 San Juan, PR 00902‐3431 April 19, 2017 Dear Mr. President of the Senate of Puerto Rico Recently you signed an administrative order limiting the civil and human rights of transgender individuals in Puerto Rico. Banning our Puerto Rican transgender brothers and sisters, who are Senate employees, from using the restroom and wardrobe that corresponds to their gender identity is a step backwards in the civil rights movements and struggles for equality. We have seen substantial progress in response to protections of communities already marginalized and targeted by discrimination, hatred, homophobia and transphobia around the world. For far too long Transgender & Gender Non‐Conforming (TGNC) citizens have not been explicitly protected under Human Rights Law. In a national transgender survey just released a few months ago, it was found that: • 29% of the respondents were living in poverty. That is two (2) times the rate of the U.S. population! • 30% reported being fired, denied a promotion, or mistreated on the job • 15% were unemployed. That is three (3) times higher than the national average (5%). Transgender people of color were unemployed at four (4) times the average! • 16% reported owning a home. That compares to a 63% average nationwide • 30% reported being homeless at one time in their life • 70% of those using a homeless shelter reported some form of mistreatment • 80% of LGBTQ students, mostly transgender students, are harassed in school throughout their lifetime • Is it any wonder that 40% of the respondents had attempted suicide? Transgender and gender non‐conforming communities are in need of permanent explicit protections from harmful discrimination in housing and employment, and the same access to government‐owned facilities, and services afforded to the general public and to the services of privately owned businesses.
