Compassion Has No Walls - Vigil
ICE Building - San Francisco
February 14, 2020
Today, Japanese Americans and the interfaith community met in front of the ICE building in San Francisco to stand in solidarity with "those directly impacted by unjust systems: mass incarceration, U.S. immigration systems and laws, and aspects of U.S. foreign policy that damage people's lives."
"We are honoring the Day of Remembrance on February 19, 1942 when Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which lead to the detention of 120,000 Japanese Americans throughout the West Coast. We remember these stories to call for the end of family separation and detention around the country today."
This vigil was hosted by Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (IM4HI) along with Japanese American Religious Federation, the Bay Area Day of Remembrance Organizing Committee, Tsuru for Solidarity and Buena Vista United Methodist Church.
