<p style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">It is our pleasure to announce that M.E.Ch.A. de UO will be hosting the 13</span><sup><span style="font-size:7.0pt;color:black">th</span></sup><span style="color:black"> annual Raza Unida Youth Conference
(RUYC) on <b>May 5</b></span><b><sup><span style="font-size:7.0pt;color:black">th</span></sup><span style="color:black">, 2017</span></b><span style="color:black">. RUYC is an all day event in which we invite Latinx high school students from Lane County and
other parts of the State to come to the University of Oregon and participate in a day filled with workshops, and keynote speakers, which gives students the opportunity to build relationships and networks in the community. This year, we are expecting to make
our Latinx students’ experiences memorable and change their lives by empowering them as students of color.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán) is a student organization that has been active on the University of Oregon Campus for more than thirty years. We strive to promote awareness on issues
related to Latinxs on campus and in the community. One of our primary goals is the recruitment and retention of Oregon’s Chicanx and Latinx students in higher education. M.E.Ch.A.’s intent is to ensure that Chicanx and Latinx cultures and philosophies are
being represented at the University of Oregon and in our surrounding communities.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">The motto of Raza Unida Youth Conference is Educación; El Derecho De La Raza! (Education; the Right of the People!). With this in mind, this year’s conference theme will be
<b>My Existence is Resistance (Mi existir es resistir)</b> as a reminder to our community that our survival is revolutionary.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">We are asking and inviting community members, alumni, university students and faculty to present workshops during RUYC, discussing topics such as
<b><u>culture, identity, education, gender, sexuality, and immigration.</u></b> We hope that both the students and you, the presenter, will gain a stronger sense of community, knowledge, and will feel invested in our students’ lives and future education.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
