The
Brown Berets (Los
Boinas Cafes) are a pro-
Chicano organization that emerged during the
Chicano Movement in the late 1960s and remains active to the present day. The group was seen as part of the Third Movement for Liberation. The Brown Berets focus on returning all United States territory once held by Mexico to Mexico; they have also
organized against
police brutality and advocate for educational equality. Several groups have been quite active since the passage of
California Proposition 187.
