Feliz Dia De los muertos
Support El Centro de la Raza’s Día de los Muertos
Honor. Remember. Give.
El Día de los Muertos is a time to celebrate life by remembering those who have passed. Every year, our community gathers to honor loved ones, social justice heroes, and all those whose lives have shaped our shared struggle for justice and hope.
For more than 53 years, El Centro de la Raza has carried forward that same spirit of remembrance and action. Our annual Día de los Muertos exhibit and celebration uplift both the personal and collective stories that define our community, from families honoring their ancestors to movements fighting for equity, human rights, and environmental justice.
Your donation helps us keep this celebration free and open to the public, while supporting the artists, youth, and community groups who bring it to life each year.
