JACL is deeply disappointed in the decision by the Supreme Court today to strike down the use of race as a general consideration in the holistic admissions programs for universities. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/9DP7plZZJB

Today, the Supreme Court made two more deeply problematic and radical rulings, trampling the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals and striking down President Biden's student debt cancellation plan. Please read our full statement on today's decision here: https://t.co/3MisE9wciq

To those who dared all and gave all - in memoriam aeternam

[Fred T. Korematsu Institute @korematsu]

The Korematsu Institute applauds the decision by the @latimes to no longer use the misleading term "internment" to describe the experience of over 125,000 people. This is not only about our Japanese American history. It is an important part of our American story.

[Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation @HeartMountainWY]

The shift toward using the word incarceration to describe what happened to 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II is gaining momentum.

[Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation @HeartMountainWY]

Words matter. Internment has always been a euphemism for what really happened to 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. They were incarcerated. We thank the @latimes for taking this step.

No one should have their loyalty questioned because of their ethnicity or nationality, accusations the Japanese American community knows all too well. JACL denounces growing anti-Chinese rhetoric and political actions. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/KLY90du1Rz

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

Stop AAPI Hate condemns the baseless comments made by Rep. @lancegooden on Fox News questioning @repjudychu’s loyalty to the United States for the simple fact that she is a Chinese American. 🧵https://t.co/RRm0IBsYmP

[JACL National @JACL_National]
