LULAC EL PASO 8
Established in 1929, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is the oldest and most esteemed Hispanic civil rights organization in the United States. Despite being denied fundamental civil and human rights during a pivotal era in our nation's history, Hispanics have made substantial contributions to American society. LULAC was founded with the vision to rectify this injustice by empowering members to create opportunities in areas of need.
​
Today, LULAC is the largest and oldest Hispanic organization in the United States, with a network of approximately 140,500 members and supporters nationwide, including Puerto Rico. Operating through over 525 LULAC councils in 40+ states, we actively make a tangible difference through community-based programs.
​
Since its establishment in El Paso in 1932, LULAC has been an active contributor to the betterment of our local community. Currently, our region's LULAC Councils are comprised of over 250 esteemed members. Together, we strive to challenge injustices, promote equality, and champion the rights of Hispanic individuals, proudly serving as a force for positive change in El Paso and beyond.
