The primary objective of the RPA is to advance the struggle for Raza self-determination by promoting and unifying the progressive Raza press/media.

Essential to this process is confronting stereo-types espoused by the U.S. bourgeois media. The RPA holds the position that Raza are colonized, indigenous people and that the so-called “Southwest U.S.” is in fact Aztlan, part of the Mexicano nation, stolen in the U.S. expansionlist/imperialist war of 1846-1848.

Furthermore the RPA will commit itself to combating all manifestations of oppression and exploitation. Central to putting into effect our objectives the RPA membership will actively get involved in the day-to-day struggles being waged by our movement and by our people. As part of this movement activism, the RPA will commit itself to organizing study sessions, forums, give presentations and disseminate information/liberature/publications to our communites to help raise the political consiousness of nuestro pueblo.
