La Familia de UCR

Follow us on Instagram for the most up-to-date information @LaFamiliaDeUCR La Familia exists because our experiences as a people, and our historical and continued struggle for liberation gives rise to particular needs and interests which require a different framework of analysis than that of the mainstream Latinx and queer communities. Recognizing the issues of religious bigotry, heterosexism, and ignorance in the Latinx communities and racism and ignorance in the larger Queer communities, La Familia demands a safe space of its own to explore, support and educate ourselves and others in imperative issues that affect us simultaneously, e.g. racism, sexism, heterosexism, and classism. La Familia commits itself to self-determination, self-respect, and dignity; not just mere survival. Our goals are to fight for self and group respect, to ensure cultural preservation, community activism and empowerment, community service, and unabashed, unrestrained self-expression.
