United for the empowerment of Indigenous Migrant and Latinx Communities

We create a space for the Indigenous Peoples of the South, Immigrants and Latin community in which we promote awareness of our rights and the cultural and artistic revitalization of our ancestral roots.

Unidos por el empoderamiento de las Comunidades Indígenas Migrantes

Creamos un espacio de encuentro para los Pueblos Indígenas del Sur, Migrantes y Latinxs y, en el que promovemos nuestros derechos y la revitalización cultural y artística de nuestras raíces ancestrales.



Roots that migrate, culture that endures: this is how Centro del Pueblo was born.



Our Impact

Since its formation, Centro del Pueblo has showcased the importance of discussing immigration as a human experience in Northern California. The Sanctuary movement that Centro started lights up the strength of Latinx residents to organize a campaign for the Human Rights of immigrants.

CDP work is present in radio, TV, rallies, festivals, public health campaigns, museums, theaters, as well as in CalPoly Humboldt, College of the Redwoods and other schools. The leadership of the organizers of CDP is acknowledged among different groups and coalitions for promoting the empowerment and racial equity in Humboldt.

Centro’s projects make a statement in defense of Indigenous women, families, Dreamers, all members of this community that respect and appreciate the richness of diversity.

Centro spearheaded the Humboldt County Sanctuary Law

Since 2016 CDP has been working to implement Sanctuary measures. Our first success was winning a sanctuary measure for the city of Arcata. In 2018, the Measure K was voted on the ballot to protect the entire county. This is the first law of this type approved by the ballot in the United States.
