This movement adopted the name “!BASTA!” a word used historically as a rallying cry for revolutionary changes in governance. The term "¡BASTA!" gained prominence during the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s when Mexico was under the control of dictator Porfirio Diaz. His regime, known as "The Porfiriato," was repudiated by the peasants who began shouting "¡BASTA!” “¡BASTA!” “¡BASTA!” meaning they had had enough of The Porfiriato. In much the same way, we have had enough of what is going on in America today, and it is threatening to destroy the way of life we have enjoyed since the founding of the country.
Founded on April 27, 2021, in Southern California, inspired by the mighty historical cry of "¡BASTA!" from the Mexican Revolution. Just as the people of that time rose against oppressive governance, we came together to address the challenges threatening our communities today. With a focus on increasing community participation and empowering underserved minorities, especially within Hispanic communities, we are driven by the desire to create lasting change.
We are a group of people who want to help, and we come from different backgrounds. United by a common goal, and we work tirelessly to empower underserved communities.
We are proud to collaborate with a network of organizations and community leaders who share our vision of empowering underserved communities. Our partners include local advocacy groups, nonprofit organizations, civic engagement groups, and other like-minded institutions committed to advocacy, equality, and community empowerment. Together, we amplify our impact and work toward a brighter, more inclusive future.
We are a group of passionate, diverse Americans from across Southern California, united by our love for our country and commitment to making a difference. Our dedicated staff and volunteers come from various backgrounds, bringing a wide range of skills and experiences to the iBASTA! movement. Whether organizing town halls or offering other community services, our team’s shared passion fuels the impact we make every day.
Our vision is to empower the community by educating individuals about how the city operates and how they can access and utilize local government resources. A top priority for iBASTA! is to engage the community and advocate for better education and civic governance, ensuring that every voice is heard in underserved communities.
We take a community-driven approach to reach and empower the people we serve. Our focus begins with K-12 education, engaging with youth through schools, sporting events, and cultural celebrations to foster early civic awareness. We believe that by starting young, we can build a foundation for lifelong engagement in local and national issues.
Over the years, iBASTA! has reached many important milestones that reflect our commitment to community empowerment and engagement. We’ve proudly sponsored a variety of events and initiatives, including vibrant Folklorico performances and soccer tournaments that bring people together in celebration of culture and sportsmanship. In addressing the needs of underserved communities, we’ve supported Food Banks and Food Pantries to ensure that no family goes hungry.
True empowerment stems from both knowledge and action. We are dedicated to providing underserved communities with the tools and resources they need to engage in the democratic process. This includes organizing town halls, canvassing, and educating the public about how local government operates. By demonstrating how to utilize city and government resources, we empower individuals to become advocates for change in their own lives and communities. Our goal is to ensure that people can make their voices heard and their actions impactful.
