In advance of the 2021 Day of Remembrance car caravan from the Puyallup Fairgrounds to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, original DOR organizer Frank Abe recorded this greeting which links creation of the first Day of Remembrance in Seattle in 1978 to the ongoing need to press for release of asylum-seekers still held at the GEO Group private prison operated on behalf of ICE. The caravan was sponsored by Tsuru for Solidarity, La Resistencia, Densho, the Minidoka Pilgrimage Planning Committee, Seattle JACL, and Puyallup Valley JACL. #DayofRemembrance #TsuruForSolidarity #NeverAgainIsNow
