Santa Rita Center, or Santa Rita Hall, is an unoccupied church hall at 10th Street and Hadley Roads, which was placed on the Phoenix Historic Property Register in October 2007,[1] which has the same eligibility criteria as the National Register of Historic Places.

[7] Valle del Sol was the last organization to come out of Santa Rita, catalyzed by a meeting held on December 3, 1970.

[5] Just 18 months after the Phoenix Union High School District boycott, Santa Rita became the center of national attention because of Cesar Chavez's 24-Day Fast for Justice in 1972.

Many national figures traveled to Santa Rita in support of Chavez, such as Democratic Presidential Candidate George McGovern,[5] Joan Baez,[10] Coretta Scott King,[11] and Joe and Michael Kennedy,[11] sons of Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated later that evening.

Today, Santa Rita is owned by Chicanos Por La Causa, and the center is used for special meetings and events.
