Never Give Up! Minoru Yasui and the Fight for Justice
PRESENTED BY: Meaningful Movies at First Church SeattleTwo films this month: (1) “Never Give Up! Minoru Yasui and the Fight for Justice,” about internment of Japanese Americans during WW II; and (2) “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 are now on the front line of resisting the imprisonment and separation of children from parents at our border.Β Β After the films, immigration rights experts Jorge BarΓ³n with Northwest Immigration Rights Project, and Palmira Figueroa and Joseph Lachman with Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network will answer questions and offer opportunities for action.
