Unidad Popular Benito Juárez

Centro de Unidad Popular Benito Juárez, Inc., is a California Corporation organized exclusively for one or more of the charitable and educational purposes in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code

Unidad Popular was established in the year 2000, in Bakersfield, County of Kern, by a group of indigenous Mixteco immigrants from Oaxaca, Mexico.  Unidad Popular was established due to the lack of information, assistance and services to the Indigenous Community of Kern County. 

 The mission of Unidad Popular is to advocate for the health, housing and basic human rights of indigenous people.  We  provide unparalleled assistance to the most vulnerable of families that are discriminated or marginalized due to their language, culture, and traditions.  For which Unidad Popular set up a volunteer support system for more immigrants arriving in the San Joaquin Valley to harvest the world’s fresh food supply.
