LA RAZA UNIDA PARTY REUNION July 6 & 7, 2012
Mexitas Restaurant
Austin, TX
It has been more than 40 years since a group of Chicanos stood up and said
"Ya basta!" to a two party system that pretended to offer Chicanos public policy choices.
La Raza Unida Party was a direct political response by those who felt political power was long over due. When
La Raza Unida Party in
Texas began winning elections, there were those who felt,
:"If we don't stop those Mexicans now, no telling what is going to happen." As the party grew and spread from the rural areas to the cities, more and more candidates joined the effort. At one point, there were candiates running under or with the support of
La Raza Unida Party in at least 10 counties in
Texas.
