Campaign for Justice was founded in 1996 as a collaborative effort by individuals and organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, Nikkei for Civil Rights & Redress (formerly known as the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations), and the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project.

Campaign for Justice has two primary goals. First, it continues to help former Japanese Latin American internees secure proper redress. Second, it works to educate the public about the wartime and redress experiences of the Japanese Latin Americans.

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. government kidnapped...
...people from Latin America and brought them to the United States to use them for hostage exchange? Read more in the history page.

Sound familiar? What would you do...
...if someone you loved suddenly disappeared and was held in a jail in another country without reason? It could happen again.

CFJ is working to get...
...an apology and proper redress for former internees, and we still need your help. Join our efforts in righting past wrongs!
