Chuco's Justice Center

A radical community space where youth and families organize, heal, and build toward liberation.

Chuco's Justice Center
Our Foundation
What we believe

Chuco’s isn’t just a building—it’s our home for movement work, political education, and transformative justice.

Movement Space
Justice grows here

We believe justice starts with community power, not courts or cages. Chuco’s is where that power is built.

Community healing
Healing is political

We hold space for healing from system harm and personal trauma—because care is resistance.

Youth-led always
Youth are the vision

Chuco’s centers the leadership, creativity, and power of young people organizing for their freedom.

Access and equity
A space for us

This space exists for systems-impacted folks—especially Black, Brown, queer, undocumented, and low-income communities.

Legacy of resistance
Who was Chuco

Chuco was a young warrior for justice, a graffiti writer, and a freedom fighter whose life was cut short by state violence. This space honors his legacy by continuing the struggle for liberation and youth power.

Your movement home
Use this Space

Chuco’s is open to systems-impacted people and organizations committed to justice, healing, and community power.

Respect the vision
Rules to use the space

Chuco’s is a sacred organizing home—we ask that all who use it align with our values of abolition, care, and youth leadership.

01
Respect the people

Treat every person in this space with dignity, especially youth, elders, and folks who’ve survived systems of harm.

02
Uplift the vision

Use this space for liberation—not for profit, policing, or anything that contradicts abolitionist values.

03
Clean as you go

Leave the space better than you found it—clean up after yourself and your crew.

04
No hate, no harm

This is a space free from hate speech, violence, and any form of discrimination.

05
Ask before you film

Always get consent before recording, photographing, or sharing anyone’s image or story.

06
Be in community

We hold each other accountable with care—if there’s harm, we seek transformation, not punishment.
