House Bill SB147 Rally at City Hall
Texas Legislature has introduced a xenophobic law intended to inhibit immigrants & non-citizens from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia from purchasing land in Texas. This bill is both racially targeted and anti-American — blocking the American Dream which all of our families can relate. If passed, it becomes a slippery slope for all minority communities.

On this day (February 19th) in 1942, President FDR authorized Executive Order No. 9066 — leading to the mass internment of Japanese Americans. Attend our event to remember what our community faced during this terrible time in our history.
