About Turkish American Gezi Platform

Turkish American Gezi Platform is a community-based, volunteer-run, non-profit organization (501-c). It was established by an independent group of individuals with heritage in Turkey who were inspired by the democratic values and multi-vocal participation embedded in the Gezi movement that took place in Istanbul, Turkey in summer of 2013.

The aim of TAGP is to unite and organize the Turkish American community around a set of core values, and promote these values through public events, such as seminars, lectures, art exhibits, forums.

The mission of TAGP is to:
- Strengthen the connections among Turkish citizens living in the U.S. through social and cultural activities;
- Facilitate the creation of cultural centers to bring the community together.
- Support and/or collaborate with other non-profit organizations, media campaigns and educational projects which serve for the progression in level of education, human rights, secularism and democracy in Turkey.
