Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project

Why a Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project?

The Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project’s mission is to carry on Yuri’s legacy – her passion for justice and lifelong commitment to connecting people, communities, and organizations to each other by:

  • Working to strengthen BIPOC solidarities domestically and internationally

  • Building community through art and activism

  • Providing learning resources for educators and young people

  • Promoting anti-racism and radical solidarity with all oppressed peoples

  • Amplifying and connecting BIPOC community builders, organizations, and movements in the United States and beyond

Through the Yuri Kochiyama website and Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project programs, we hope to create a network of BIPOC community leaders, activists/organizers and educators who can collaborate and build coalitions that impact policy change and dramatically increase and improve communications and solidarity between BIPOC communities.
