Started in 1968, "MAS y MEXA is a Chicanx and Latinx student group on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Our mission is to encourage respect, dignity, justice and equality for the Chicana/Chicano. To that end, we work with any organization that advances the rights of all people. We believe that the best form of resistence is created at a grass roots level and that marginalized people can take action into their own hands rather than waiting for support from other places. More than resistance we also build power as Chicanx and Latinx students at CU Boulder."
