Join us at Why We Remember the Japanese American Incarceration, a youth/young adult-focused Day of Remembrance event organized by young people and supported by the Japanese American Youth Alliance (JAYA) and the Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC) on Sunday, February 16, 2025 from 10am - 12:45pm. Lunch will be provided. This event is free to all youth.

The event will be held at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California - 1840 Sutter Street, San Francisco.

Following this event, the group will walk down to join the Bay Area Day of Remembrance from 1-3pm at the AMC Kabuki. We encourage all of you to join us. Please check the box below so that we can provide you with a complimentary ticket.

Through interactive activities and discussion, we will be reflecting on what it means for younger generations of Nikkei and the greater Asian American community to learn about the history and the importance of Day of Remembrance, and more generally, the power of remembering governmental injustices that are too often written out of dominant recounts of American history.
