DESCRIPTION:Rise & Resist! Join Tsuru for Solidarity and San Francisco Japantown groups 
 for a rally to stop deportation and close detention centers. This action 
 will be at former location of the Tanforan Assembly Center during WWII, 
 calling attention to the historical parallels between the experiences of 
 Japanese Americans and current events. Tsuru for Solidarity, in partnership 
 with the San Francisco Japantown community and Bay Area Japanese American 
 organizations, calls on our communities to say NO to new detention centers 
 in Northern California and across the US. This family-friendly action will 
 feature powerful speakers, arts and crafts for kids, and opportunities to 
 plug in and take action together.\n\nThe Tanforan Assembly Center served as 
 the unjust detention center for nearly 8,00 Japanese and Japanese Americans 
 during World War II in 1942. We want to ensure their stories are remembered 
 and that this injustice is never repeated against any peoples.  We say, 
 ""Stop repeating history!" \n\nWHY ARE WE HOLDING THIS ACTION? We stand in 
 solidarity with our immigrant communities targeted by racists and inhumane 
 state violence. As ICE raids intensify and militarized tactics escalate 
 nationwide, the fight to remove ICE from CA has never been more urgent. Now 
 is the time to raise our voices and share our stories. Together we must 
 stand against detention and state violence -- drawing on the legacy of 
 Japanese American incarceration during WWII to resist its repetition 
 today.\n\nWe must not let an ICE detention facility open in Dublin, CA or 
 anywhere in Northern California. Our community members are more likely to 
 be arrested & detained by ICE in counties with more detention beds. This is 
 our moment to speak out, take action, and stand in solidarity with our 
 community members!!! Never Again is NOW!\n\nFree\n
