La Raíz Magazine expands culturally-relevant arts engagement opportunities to create, present, publish, and experience poetry and visual art that celebrate shared culture and inspire conversations on important issues. La Raíz offers free, bilingual generative workshops, creative showcases, and an annual, multilingual literary journal to create space for the publication and presentation of creative work by people who identify as women, girls, and members of the global majority (People of Color, BIPOC); with an emphasis on work by people whose heritage is rooted in lands that are now Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, who identify as: Chicana/o, Indigenous, Raza, from their country of origin, Latinx, or Hispanic. ​La Raíz Magazine sets an example of inclusive, interactive community-building opportunities to promote self-confidence, empathy, and cross-cultural understanding.

Our publication, La Raíz Magazine, is a literary journal featuring visual art and multilingual poetry by community members, writers, and artists based in San José, California and Santa Clara County, while also welcoming creative work from the greater San Francisco Bay Area, California, and our national and international community. We publish poetry in Spanish, English, and Spanglish and poetry that is partially in additional languages. Each issue is publicly available to read digitally at no cost. www.laraizmagazine.com
