On Saturday, April 5th the Minoru Yasui Legacy Project celebrated Min Yasui Day with  community members in Portland, OR. The Min Yasui Legacy Project celebrated Min Yasui’s legacy with their annual youth art competition, honoring Min Yasui’s history with speeches from his family, and awarded 10 organizations with Min Yasui Activism awards, of which Tsuru was a recipient. 

Tsuru for Solidarity gives a deep bow of gratitude to the Minoru Yasui Legacy Project for awarding us with the Min Yasui Culture Igniting Activism Award. As an organization that was founded on direct action, Min Yasui’s defiance and determination to stand up for what is right inspires us in our work to support communities facing state violence.
