AjA’s Civil Liberties Project aims to remember this history through art while drawing parallels to the injustices happening today. Come view this art exhibit at Ocean View Growing Grounds, commemorating the erased history of San Diego’s Japanese American communities and its ties to the current humanitarian crises happening locally and internationally. Come join us for an afternoon of art, conversation, food, poetry, and mutual aid. Engage in direct collective action by making care packages for migrants and raising money for San Diego mutual aid groups. For more information visit: theajaproject.org Stay Connected on Instagram
