Yes. Here’s a profile of La Raza I wrote mentioning Alinskyite Cesar Chavez’ involvement with them:

La Raza Unida aka La Raza Unida Party, Raza Unida Party (RUP), Southwest Council of La Raza (SWCLR), National Council of La Raza (NCLR): Chicano nationalist party founded in 1970. RUP emerged from the Crusade for Justice (CFJ, aka La Crusada Por Justicia), a Chicano organizing group founded in 1966 by Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzalez. Gonzalez’ father had served in the army of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. After unsuccessfully attempting to pull the Denver Democratic Party’s welfare policies further left through its Neighborhood Youth Corp (NYC), Gonzalez split with conventional politics over the course of 1966-1967 to start a Chicano-oriented branch of the civil rights movement, joining the antiwar movement in the process and attracting FBI surveillance. Inspired by the example of the Black Panther Party, he formed the CFJ to promote Chicano nationalism and socio-political participation. La Raza Unida emerged as CPJ’s political arm in Colorado, and similar parties formed in other Southwestern states, leading to the formation of the Southwest Council of La Raza (SWCLR) in 1968 and a national convention in 1972 wherein SWCLR became the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). During the 1968-1972 period Communist-linked organizer Cesar Chavez became active in the La Raza Unida movement, and SWCLR began to receive funding from some of the same left-wing sources funding Chavez, such as United Auto Workers, the National Council of Churches, and the Ford Foundation. At the time of Dewey Canyon III in spring 1971 the Colorado CFJ and La Raza Unida participated in antiwar events with the Colorado Peace Coalition (CPC), a SWP-led coalition which included the Colorado VVAW.

I’m more familiar with the Texas organizations and leaders. I had a secretary back in the 70s whose husband was a local leader and organizaer. I knew many of the local San Antonio leaders of La Raza through my own politcial work. The town had been run by an elite group of citizens for years and it was amazing to see them shouted down at city council meetings. Now they have become part of the local establishment.
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and State Rep. Joaquin Castro, brothers whose mother, Rosie, was a founding member of Raza Unida.

Ramsey Muniz, an attorney from Corpus Christi, was the first Mexican American candidate in history for governor. He was a very charismatic young man but eventually got caught up in a large drug transaction that put him in jail and out of politics.

La Raza was able to take over the city governments in several small Texas towns with Mexican American majorities—but most of these folks implemented the corrupt techniques of politicians in Mexico and ran the governments as personal financial fiefs. The FBI arrested a bunch of city councilmen and the city manager in one S. Texas town just a few months ago.
