Puerto Ricans have taken to the streets to protest Governor Ricardo Rosselló. Following the leak of a series of mocking and contemptuous Telegram messages from Rosselló and members of his cabinet, many have called for Rosselló to resign. Earlier this week and in the midst of protests, Bad Bunny announced he would head back to Puerto Rico to join his fellow boricuas. Today, he, Ricky Martin, Benicio del Toro, Residente, and more high profile Puerto Ricans lent their support to the cause.

With Rosselló showing no intentions of stepping down after sending sexist and homophobic messages, many Puerto Ricans on and off the island are fed up. With a little star power, this message has been amplified. Below, check out some of the celebrities who attended the protests.
