Events › Tsuru for Solidarity: Panel Discussion

Join us for a panel featuring leaders from Tsuru for Solidarity, a grassroots project of Japanese Americans and allies working to end mass detention. Rooted in our community’s history of forced removal and incarceration, we advocate in solidarity with immigrant and refugee communities currently targeted by racist, inhumane policies.

Come learn about our current local efforts: the ICE out of Dublin campaign, the #PardonRefugees coalition, and our work in solidarity with Palestine. Discover how you can join our upcoming actions and support our work.

This program is in partnership with the Berkeley Public Library and part of the Albany Reads series, bringing our community together around The Poet and the Silk Girl: A Memoir of Love, Imprisonment, and Protest by Satsuki Ina. Through shared reading and related events, we reflect on history, foster dialogue, and connect past injustices to present-day conversations about civil liberties and belonging.

Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests!

An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or accessibility@aclibrary.org.
