A Call To Action:

We cannot stand by when 1400 more asylum-seeking children from our southern border are going to be imprisoned at Fort Sill in July of 2019.

This is the place where over 700 people of Japanese ancestry (immigrants and citizens) were imprisoned during WWII and one immigrant was shot and killed.
It is the place where Apache people were forcibly relocated to and imprisoned.

It is the place where indigenous children from numerous tribes were brought to boarding school after being stripped away from their families and where the government attempted to erase their identity and culture.

Now, children seeking refuge at our southern border will be imprisoned at Fort Sill in July.
The U.S. is creating concentration camps for children.
This cannot continue. We must stop it. And we must act immediately.

We are going to Fort Sill.
Join us.
We need to stand up for these children. Who else will?

We’re bringing thousands of Tsuru for Solidarity.
