Our Mission/Vision

The Yuri Kochiyama Solidarity Project (YKSP) honors Yuri’s legacy and carries on her commitment to bringing people together and building cross movement, cross racial solidarity in support of human rights, human dignity and self-determination for all oppressed people. Our mission is to continue this work by providing opportunities for students and educators, artists and activists, communities and movements to connect with each other, learn about and from one another, build meaningful relationships and organize in solidarity. We seek to support, expand and strengthen coalitions between Black Indigenous People Of Color-led, community-based organizations and movements through arts and education programs centered in history and that serve to increase understanding about our shared struggles and to inspire collective action and strategies that empower and protect our communities now and in the future.
