DESCRIPTION:SOLIDARITY VIGIL FOR CHILDREN & FAMILIES IMPRISONED AT BORDER 
 \n\n“Children cannot take care of children, and yet that’s how they are 
 trying to run this facility.” \n— Warren Binford, Willamette 
 University	\n\n#NeverAgainIsNow\n\nWhen: Thursday, June 27, 2019 @ 8:00 
 p.m.\n\nWhere: Issei Memorial Building, 565 North Fifth Street, San Jose, 
 CA	 	\n\nExecutive Order 9066, signed on February 19, 1942, led to the 
 forced removal and incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese descent 
 during World War II.  The San Jose Nikkei Resisters, San Jose Nihonmachi 
 Outreach Committee, and other allies are holding a solitary vigil for the 
 children and their families detained and imprisoned at the border.\n\nThe 
 travesty of separating families at the border, imprisoning asylum seekers 
 in inhumane conditions, and tearing apart communities must stop. \n\nWe say 
 #NeverAgainIsNow! \n\nFort Sill once held Japanese Issei or first 
 generation immigrants during WWII without due process. Before that it held 
 Native Americans including Geronimo, who died within its walls. To open it 
 up again to imprison unaccompanied minors, children, would be a travesty 
 and open a painful wound. By holding children on Federal sites, the US 
 government is also able to bypass child safety regulations from the state. 
 \n\nPlease join the Japanese American community, San Jose Nikkei Resisters, 
 Nihonmachi Outreach Committee, San Jose JACL,  Silicon Valley JACL, Sequoia 
 JACL, and Asian Law Alliance for a Solidarity Vigil and Press Conference on 
 the steps of the historic Issei Memorial Building. If you have candles 
 please bring them. Please share with your networks. 	 	 \n \nSan Jose
