The Day of Remembrance commemorates the anniversary of Executive Order 9066 which led to the forced incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were American citizens. Each year, we gather to remember that great civil liberties tragedy from over eighty years ago and each one of us reflects on what that event means to us today.

​

The Day of Remembrance is an event that aims to bring different communities together in order to build trust, respect and understanding among all people and to renew our pledge to fight for equality, justice and peace.
