The Star Project advocated for statehood ahead of the 2012 Puerto Rican status referendum, holding training events in San Juan, Las Piedras, Vieques, the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, the University of Puerto Rico at Humacao, and the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón. For these endeavors, the organization joined a coalition of advocacy groups, including the Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association, the Young Democrats of Puerto Rico, Igualdad Futuro Seguro, the Young Republican Federation of Puerto Rico, and Boricua Ahora Es. A majority of voters (54%) rejected Puerto Rico's current territorial status and another majority (61%) chose statehood.
