United StatesFounded in 1969 as part of the National Chicano Youth Conference, Movimiento Estudiantil Chican@* de Aztlán (MEChA) is the largest and oldest Chican@ organization in the United States. It is a student organization that promotes higher education, culture, and leadership. MEChA was founded on the principles of self-determination for the social and political liberation of our people. We believe that political involvement and education is the avenue for change in our society. The term Chican@ is grounded in a philosophy, not a nationality. Chicanismo does not exclude anyone, rather it includes those who acknowledge and work toward the betterment of La RazaGeographical Scope: National Conference |
