You’re invited to stand with our national parks and show up for park staff, funding, and the sacred stories told at our parks. Come listen to speakers, wave signs, and demonstrate solidarity with our National Parks and cultural sites protected within the National Park System. Together we’ll tell members of congress to protect every park – big and small.

Our event will place special emphasis on the five designated park sites where Japanese Americans were incarcerated: Manzanar, Minidoka, Tule Lake, Amache, and Honolulu National Historic Site. Just across the water, Bainbridge Island was the first place Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to confinement sites that are now at risk of erasure. America must not risk repeating its mistakes by censoring the lessons these sites teach.
