Keep an eye out the rest of the month for upcoming Healing Spaces -- and don't miss the first space this Thursday, "Illustrating Q***r Ecologies!" Register at tinyurl.com/dvrpjune5q***r1 ✨

This year marks the 83rd anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans during World War II by the United States government. For decades, Japanese Americans have raised their voices to say “never again” when our country has been on the precipice of repeating mistakes from the past. On this National Day of Remembrance, in the midst of relentless anti-immigrant attacks that rely upon similar narratives and policies, we are among the 100+ organizations who have joined and in recommitting to community care and solidarity. Find the full statement and ideas to be in solidarity this Day of Remembrance and beyond at bit.ly/dor-solidarity-statement
