Recently JCC received the following announcement and we pass it along for you:
On Sunday, January 26 from 12 noon to 2:00 p.m., Meaningful Movies at First Church (180 Denny Way, Seattle) will show two documentary films — Never Give Up! Minoru Yasui and the Fight for Justice about internment of Japanese Americans during World War II AND Families Torn Apart: America’s Deadly Immigration Policy about detention camps at the U.S. southern border. Never Give Up! is newly relevant because the children of parents who were interned now are on the front line resisting imprisonment and separation of children from parents at our border. After the films, Jorge Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigration Rights Project, and Joseph Lachman and Palmira Figueroa with Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network will answer questions and offer opportunities for action. The event location is easy to reach by public transportation, and parking is free for event attendees in the church’s parking garage just west of the church building.
