愿景

The LCRC or La小屋 is committed to creating inclusive spaces that disrupt forms of systemic oppression, empower students in their pursuit of radical knowledge and social justice, and embrace the complexity of Latinidad and Latinx identities.

As an anti-racist center, La小屋 affirms the experiences of Afro-Indigenous Peoples, Peoples from Central America, 南美, the Caribbean and the African Diaspora. Inspired by El Comité, La小屋 aims to prioritize student advocacy and provide student-focused support.

历史

In February 2020, a group of Latinx students at California State University, Dominguez Hills formed a group called, El Comite de 基督教社会联盟DH to propose the development of a Resource Center for Latinx students. El Comite successfully defended their list of demands and received approval for the development of a Latinx Resource Center.

The Latinx 文化l Resource Center (LCRC) began its online programming in the Spring of 2021. As 基督教社会联盟DH students began to visit the LCRC, they expressed how they were reminded of their home and how the space feels warmth and welcomes all students so they decided to give a new nickname to the center, “La小屋.” 

Why we embrace Latinx Terminology:

The term “Latino” has often excluded Queer, Trans, Non-binary communities. We use the term “Latinx” as a form to create inclusivity and challenge the term itself as we move forward to create brave spaces. 另外, the “X” in Latinx aims to disrupt the gender norms and binaries embedded within the Spanish language (Gonzalez, 2022). We encourage authenticity and invite everyone to self-identify with their own sense of being.
