About Me

M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan) de UNLV is dedicated to using our resources to meet the needs of our Chicana & Chicano communities. Today, our Gentes still face the same problems of the 1970’s; high push-out rates in junior high, high school and college, right-wing trend in the nation, repressive and racist immigration laws directed towards our Gentes.
Thus, M.E.Ch.A’s spirit of activism and self-determination is conduced within experience and expression for the betterment of our Peoples. We continue our traditions and cultures as Chicana/os de Aztlan. We continue fighting for social justice in all the arenas of our lives.
MEChA de UNLV is committed to ending oppression in all of its forms and is committed to always maintaining a safe space for all individuals regardless of gender, sexuality, status, identity and any other discernable characteristic(s).
MEChA de UNLV meets every Thursday at 7pm at Houssel's House, the Womyn Studies Dept. If you all have any questions about us, please send us a message!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fellow MEChistAs, Activistas, Educators, Thinkers, Gente growing in their consciousness from all over the world who resist their repressive institutions.-->
