Bodhi1 discovered 2 months ago- From the page: "The National Council of La Raza calls itself "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States." According to the "About" page on The Race's website, NCLR "works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans." That is very vague, and leads me to wonder how exactly they go about doing this. What policies do they advocate?" This article acts as a bit of a primer for those who don't know much about La Raza.

- From pg: "The National Council of La Raza is literally means the National Council of the Race. It started in Phoenix in 1968 as the Southwest Council of the Race, funded by Ford Foundation, the National Council of Churches, and the United Auto Workers. In 1973, it went national, moved to Washington, D.C. and renamed itself the National Council of La Raza. At first, the organization focused solely on the advancement of Mexicans in America, but in 1975 it expanded its focus to include other Latinos. By 1979, it became policy. At this time, the NCLR was almost completely federally funded. The Reagan administration slashed social funding, resulting in the Council to narrow its focus to national issues, with its work done mainly in D.C. The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act gave the states more influence over the distribution of welfare funds. The NCLR responded with its Field Advocacy Program. This helped NCLR to have input in state and local levels."
