Join Portland Taiko and JACL Sunday, February 22, 2026 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm for Tsuru Day of Remembrance. The event commemorates the 84th anniversary of the Executive Order that incarcerated 120,000 immigrants and citizens of Japanese descent during WWII.

As Japanese Americans, we know too well the immigrant detention system that separates families and wrecks our communities. Right now, as ICE terrorizes our immigrant neighbors, it is more important than ever that we speak up and speak out.

The rally starts at Elizabeth Caruthers Park, 3508 S Moody Ave. Portland and will proceed four blocks to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility at 4310 S Macadam Ave.

In addition to speakers, the program will include a remembrance ceremony with survivors and descendants of WWII incarceration. As a show of solidarity, participants will string tsuru, or paper cranes, along the perimeter at the ICE facility.

All are welcome as we stand together in solidarity.
