GLobal action day 2022

Join us, Wednesday, August 10 at 12PM, as we gather in downtown Chicago for a rally and performances in honor of the "comfort women" survivors. You're invited to join us in demanding justice and uplifting their voices! Will you #ComeSitWithHer?

We will be listening to the survivors’ stories, honoring them through art and performance, and marching for justice. Attendees will also have the opportunity to practice their own individual form of embodying justice by sitting with the Statue of Peace or Sonyeosang.

RSVP here! You can also access and join us via livestream on the Facebook event page.

Will you #Comesitwithher

In this short film, our survivor advocate, Min A Kim, tells her story of sitting as the human replica of the Statue of Peace, aka Sonyeosang, and joining the “comfort women” justice movement. We hope it inspires you to join us and #ComeSitWithHer.
