  • Program 1 [2020]

    SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ADVOCACY PROGRAM:AS A NATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION, JACL ENGAGES IN POLICY ADVOCACY TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS SUBJECT TO DISCRIMINATION. OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CIVIL RIGHTS IS SHAPED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF THE JAPANESE AMERICAN COMMUNITY HAVING BEEN SUBJECTED TO MASS INCARCERATION BY THE GOVERNMENT UNDER THE FALSE PRETENSE OF NATIONAL SECURITY, ONLY TO BE REVEALED MANY YEARS LATER TO BE ROOTED PURELY IN RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA. WE SEEK TO PROTECT THE LEGACY OF OUR COMMUNITY'S EXPERIENCE IN THE PROTECTION OF HISTORIC INCARCERATION SITES AND PROMOTING PUBLIC EDUCATION ON THE CORRELATION BETWEEN HISTORY AND CURRENT EVENTS. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)BECAUSE OF OUR HISTORY WE HAVE FOUGHT THE UNDERLYING HATE AND RACISM THAT LEADS TO THE COMMISSION OF HATE AND BIAS INCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE RECENT CLIMATE OF INCREASED ANTI-ASIAN HATE.
