El Malcriado

El Malcriado was a Chicano/a bilingual newspaper founded by César Chávez in 1964 to serve as the voice of the United Farm Workers (UFW). Operating until 1976, it became a vital tool for advocating labor rights and organizing farmworkers while also serving as a platform for political commentary, satire, and cultural solidarity within the Chicano/a community. Published in both Spanish and English, El Malcriado played a significant role in the Chicano/a Movement, influencing both labor activism and civil rights struggles, and reflecting the intersection of farmworker rights with broader political movements such as the anti-Vietnam War campaign.
