With anti-Asian racism on the rise, we want to recognize that today marks the 79th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Army to evacuate any persons they considered a threat to national security. As a result, over 120,000 Japanese people were forced to relocate to internment camps around the United States. As a community, we must be vigilant in remembering and addressing all injustice. #justice #antiracism
