Ohio's Minimum Wage Battle

Ohio voters passed a constitutional amendment making increases in the minimum wage tied to inflation. The Ohio State Senate is working to exempt more people from minimum wage protections.

We need to keep track of this because La Raza Unida recently moved to support work toward a living wage.

PRIDE 2011

La Raza Unida stood up for freedom for relationships and sexuality while standing against homophobia, racism, sexism, and classism at the Albuquerque Pride Parade today.

We had a small dedicated and lively group which helped to fire up

the crowd with yells of Viva La Raza and La Raza Unida, Jamas Sera Vencida!

We are clear that homophobia is used like racism, sexism and classism in order to keep us divided. We refuse to be confused about that and will stand in solidarity with all in fighting for justice.

Why I Support La Raza Unida by Federico Reade

Para ser un miebro del Partido de la Raza Unida is to announce to the United States that the needs and desires of people have to be met. That the wealth and the countries resources have to be equitably, and that all of humankind deserves to live a satisfying life free of exploitation.
