NEW YORK - From the streets of San Juan to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, for more than 10 days, massive protests have rocked Puerto Rico - and beyond - in an effort to force the resignation of governor Ricardo Rosselló.

"There's not one leader of this movement, but we are leaderful," said activist Karina Claudio Betancourt. “There are many people that are taking on leadership roles".

Several elected officials in New York, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, are also asking Rosselló to step down, claiming that he no longer has the authority to run the island.

Bronx Councilman Fernando Cabrera joined protesters in San Juan over the weekend.

"This is a deining moment for the history of Puerto Rico, it really is. I mean, we are at the crossroads,” Cabrera said.

Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans say they are fed up with the political corruption and mismanagement after Hurricane María. The last straw was a leaked private chat in which the governor and his male friends used sexist and homophobic language to insult political opponents. They also made fun of victims of María.

"People know what's going on, and they want to continue to be informed, and they won't quit until the governor resigns," said Claudio Betancourt.

On Monday, president Trump said Rosselló is doing a terrible job.

"If the governor does not resign,” Cabrera adds, “how is the government gonna work when you have a governor that's literally hiding? The reporters can't even find where he is at."

Rosselló says the people are speaking and it's time for him to listen.

For now, though, he is not stepping down.
