Due to Covid-19, La Casa will not be accessible to visitors but the staff is available to individuals or groups via phone, email, teleconferencing, and social media. Programs and events during the fall of 2020 will be conducted virtually. If conditions improve, we will reconsider the possibility of in-person meetings following prevention protocols (e.g. wearing masks, meeting outside, maintaining a distance of 6 ft. etc.).
La Casa unequivocally denounces racism and bigotry in all its forms. We stand with our Black brothers and sisters, including Black Latinx and Afro-Latinx, in their struggle for equality, inclusion, and against oppression. We hear the voices of those suffering and stand in solidarity with Black students, colleagues, coworkers, family, and friends.
We are also deeply concern with the rise in anti-Asian attacks throughout the pandemic. We stand in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American community and condemn the rising level of racism, xenophobia and violent acts targeting these communities.
Racism, or any form of discrimination, has no place in this world.
