Somos Magazine

Since its founding in 1987, Somos Raza Youth Project published Somos Magazine to reach out to barrio youth and raise the political and cultural conciencia in our communities. We did this by collecting art, poems, history lessons and dedications, then putting them together in small photo-copied magazines that we would pass out in the different barrios of San Diego Califas. Today as we work to fulfill the original goals of bringing a culture of struggle to our barrio youth, Somos Magazine includes some of those same things but it is online now. Below is a list of important historical people and events that we have created for young people. This information does not get taught very often in barrio schools, even when raza youth are a majority of the student body.
