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.
Latest Action
Take Action Now: Ask your Members of Congress to co-sponsor the ARMAS Act of 2025 – H.R.6736, S.3508
Gun trafficking from the United States is fueling deadly violence across Latin America and the Caribbean, with devastating consequences in countries like Haiti and Mexico. The ARMAS Act of 2025 would restore oversight, strengthen transparency, and hold U.S. arms exporters accountable, helping prevent weapons from falling into the hands of criminal gangs. Urge your Members of Congress to co-sponsor the ARMAS Act and take a critical step toward reducing violence and protecting lives across the region.
On December 16, 2025, Representative Castro introduced the ARMAS Act in the House – HR. 6736 – and Senator Murphy introduced the bill in the Senate – S.3508. We encourage everyone to utilize our congressional letter template and telephone script to ask your Members of Congress to fully support this bill.
Thank you for your continued support.

Spring Newsletter
Fifty years ago Bill Callahan and Dolly Pomerleau founded Quixote Center with a dream to be a progressive faith-based center for challenging injustice. Our founders were influenced by liberation theology and animated by a commitment to solidarity with the vulnerable and
marginalized, within the Catholic Church and in society. They dreamed the “impossible
dream” of a world more justly loving, armed with the faith that their love and persistence
could make impossible dreams come true.
