About Us
The Quixote Center dismantles oppressive systems and structures so that vulnerable people are empowered to become the artisans of their own destiny. Inspired by liberation theology, we do this through sustainable development, U.S. policy reform, economic justice, and educational initiatives.

Recent Updates
Updates from Haiti
With all that’s going on in the past few weeks, you may have missed the news from Haiti. Criminal gangs shot at a couple of airliners flying into and out of Haiti, injuring at least one person and leading the FAA to ban U.S. airlines from flying into Haiti for 30 days.
The Great Local Mango Save
This report comes from Sr. Pat Dillon, RJM, a Quixote Center partner in Gros Morne, Haiti.
Changing the Narrative on Immigration
There is so much fear mongering and scapegoating during this election year. Recently Quixote Center had to remove a social media post on migration because there was too much hate and anger toward migrants expressed in the comments. It is worthwhile to take a step back and reflect on where each of us stand on immigration. No matter what our background or personal connection to this sensitive issue is, we all have an opinion. But where does our knowledge come from? That is, how do you know what you know?
