Korematsu continued his career in activism, defending the rights of Muslims and Americans of Middle Eastern descent in the wake of 9/11. We look to Korematsu as an inspiration and role model as we continue to fight to protect, defend, and expand civil rights to this day.

Ten Senate Dems in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Virginia joined Republicans on Friday to move forward with the vote. Let them know you oppose this dangerous, xenophobic bill that threatens our communities. (See individual office numbers in the image).

We honor & reflect on the legacy and life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King paved the path for the Asian American community & all communities of color, in standing up against hate & discrimination. We continue fighting for a world where the human rights of all are dignified.

These workers faced an impossible choice: continue to endure the exploitations and hazards of the job—or face financial ruin. All workers deserve fair wages, dignity, and safety.

The passage of this bill would be a devastating blow to all immigrant communities, who are already at deep risk as we move into the second Trump administration. Stand with our community, call (202) 224-3121, and urge your senator to VOTE NO on S5—today.
