¡Luchar para aprender! ¡Aprender para luchar!

The purpose of La Raza Student Association (Raza defined as: people who identify with the Chicano/a Latino/a cultural heritage or experience) at California State University Long Beach is to meet the social, cultural and academic needs of Raza students on campus. Since 1968 through struggle and determination, La Raza Student Association has served to support, educate, and empower students through cultural celebrations/activities, educational workshops, and the promotion of social justice on and off campus. It is vital that we have an organization that focuses on our struggle on university campuses and which gives support to the struggles in our community. La Raza Student Association exists to promote personal and political guidance to the Raza community on campus. La Raza aims to maintain an atmosphere of hermandad and familia in an environment that many time may seem alien to us. La Raza promotes unity and respect for each other.
