About El Centro de la Raza

As an organization grounded in the Latino community of Washington State, it is the mission of El Centro de la Raza (The Center for People of All Races) to build the Beloved Community through unifying all racial and economic sectors; to organize, empower, and defend the basic human rights of our most vulnerable and marginalized populations; and to bring critical consciousness, justice, dignity, and equity to all the peoples of the world.

We envision a world free of oppression based on poverty, racism, sexism, sexual orientation, and discrimination of any kind that limits equal access to the resources that ensure a healthy and productive life in peace, love and harmony for all peoples and our future generations.

El Centro de la Raza was founded in 1972 with a peaceful occupation of the Beacon Hill School building. Since its founding, El Centro de la Raza has served the Latino community and other diverse communities. Throughout its history, El Centro de la Raza has stood in solidarity with numerous social justice movements.
