Thank you to everyone who joined us for our SFV JACL Sing-Along Social this past weekend!

The ABAsonics did an incredible job taking us back through the decades with music that had everyone singing along and out of their seats dancing. 🎤✨

A very special thank you to the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center Sunday Night Volleyball Club for hosting their Bake Sale Fundraiser and providing such delicious treats for everyone to enjoy. 🧁🏐

We loved spending the afternoon with you all and hope to bring more events like this to you in the future!

📣 250 Years of Hope: The American Experiment - 2026 Summer Campaign Update!

We’re nearly at our goal: we've received almost $20,000 of our $30,000 goal! 🎉

At our 2026 National Convention, we adopted our first Biennium Policy Platform, focusing on five priorities: civil rights, historic preservation, immigration, voting rights, and community development.

Your support will help fuel this policy platform, in addition to the advocacy, education, and organizing needed to protect our communities and carry JACL’s legacy forward.

Help us reach $30,000. Every gift makes a difference. 💙
