More information
The Quixote Center is a band of "impossible dreamers" who joined together in 1976. We are a multi-issue, grassroots social justice organization with roots in the Catholic social justice tradition. Independent of church and government structures, the Center operates with an understanding that an educated and engaged citizenry is essential to making social change. For over 30 years, the Quixote Center has gathered together people of faith and conscience to organize highly effective campaigns for systemic change. The Quixote Center provides housing, incorporation, tax-exemption, legal status, accounting and technological services for a wide range of social justice projects. The Quixote Center has a strong board of directors and staff who plan, nurture and implement our work for justice. Center programs have educated and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to end the U.S. Contra War in Nicaragua with a citizens' campaign of peace and material aid, supported democracy and reforestation in Haiti, promoted women's equality and countered homophobia in the Roman Catholic Church and civil society, and more.
