MEChA began as a political movement made official at a conference in Santa Barbara in 1969 At this conference, students unified themselves with "El Plan de Santa Barbara " At the time, MEChA was in different forms, and "El Plan de Santa Barbara" allowed all these students who ran organizations and clubs to have an umbrella term, MEChA

The following years observed immense growth in Chicanx activism among students in these clubs Now known as Mechistas They followed what MEChA promoted political power and reform The idea is that they CAN change things They DO have the ability to demand equity in a world that does not hand it to us
