Brown Berets

For the Belgian military formation known as the "Brown Berets", see Belgian United Nations Comand

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.
