The Cupertino-Toyokawa Sister
Cities and City of Cupertino hosts a Bell
Ringing for World Peace ceremony recognizing 80
years of peace between the US and Japan.
In addition to the well-known atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki during WWII, Cupertino’s sister city of Toyokawa, Japan
was also bombed as it was the location of Japan’s Naval Armory.
This is an annual event to ask the community to come together to ring
bells for world peace. |

Urge Congress to Support the Born in the USA Act |
| |
| |
The
Born in the USA Act (H.R. 3368 and S.646) will keep the
Trump administration from using federal funds to carry out their
attack on birthright citizenship. Ending birthright citizenship
would create a new class of stateless individuals, leaving
countless children in limbo, tearing families apart, and
fundamentally calling into question whether AAPIs can truly
belong in this country. |

Contact your members of Congress and urge them to
oppose the President's use of the Alien Enemies Act and
co-sponsor the Neighbors Not Enemies Act to repeal the
Alien Enemies Act. Learn more about the
Alien
Enemies Act on the JACL's website |
