The Esperanza Center is a San Antonio organization that promotes social justice through cultural arts programming and advocating on behalf of people of color, women, lesbians and gay men, the working class and the poor. We have learned that to participate fully in democratic civic life, individuals must be culturally grounded, confident of their own voices, and certain of the value of their contributions. Art and culture give us this grounding.

Free Press is a national, nonpartisan organization working to reform the media. Free Press does not support or oppose any candidate for public office.
