Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
La Raíz Magazine is a literary magazine that publishes visual art and poetry by community members, writers, and artists based in San José, California and Santa Clara County, while also welcoming work from our national and international community. La Raíz publishes work that represents a variety of perspectives, life experiences, and cultures. La Raíz consciously creates space for work by people who identify as: women and girls; members of the global majority (aka: People of Color/BIPOC); and work by people with Indigenous heritage rooted in areas that are now Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Through our publication and events, we hope to promote inclusion, empathy, and connection.
