    KAN-WIN

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $8,000

    We request renewed support to continue advocacy of justice for “comfort women” (CW) survivors of military rape and torture by Imperial Japan. We propose to hold an art exhibit with Awakenings Gallery on survivor artwork and the Peace Statue, organize the annual rally Global Action Day for Survivor Justice, host community book clubs in a brave space, and deepen research on state violence against AAPI women for civic education. Given there are survivors from the Indonesia, China, Korea, Philippines, and more the project makes more visible an injustice that has impacted generations around the world. Throughout, we hope to practice collective healing from this intergenerational trauma while deeply collaborating with our community partners.

    Chicago Desi Youth Rising

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $1,000

    CDYR is deepening our youth-centered organizing work in 2021, through our summer/fall convening of a new year-long cohort of youth for our annual retreat, and through supporting year-round youth-led campaign work through our action grants model in its most robust incarnation yet. This year’s cohort will participate in a thoughtfully crafted series of small and large online community-building activities, systems analysis workshops, and organizing trainings, all led by local and national leaders and peers in the organizing space who we admire and regularly build with. On the weekend following the retreat, we are tentatively planning an in-person community activation in Chicago.
