Mission Statement

To promote civic participation and education that advances racial equity, social justice, and human rights for all.

About This Cause

Fred T. Korematsu was an American citizen who believed in democracy and justice for all. He wasn’t afraid to speak up against the government’s wrongful imprisonment of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry during WWII. After receiving the Presidential Medal of Honor, he continued to speak up when he witnessed acts of racism and xenophobia against other communities. We develop educational resources, speak to educational and corporate audiences, and advocate for ethnic studies and civics education because… We believe prejudice, xenophobia, and racism are born of ignorance and that education is the most powerful tool we have in our fight for justice. We believe in the importance of knowing our history, understanding past mistakes, and speaking up to advance justice for all.
