The Puerto Rican Independence Party (Spanish: Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño, PIP) is a social-democratic[2][3] political party in Puerto Rico that campaigns for the independence of Puerto Rico from the United States.[5]

Those who follow the PIP ideology are usually called independentistas, pipiolos, or sometimes just pro-independence activists.[6]
