On behalf of our coalition partners at the Asian Migrant Border Alliance (AMBA), we invite you to join a virtual screening of Honor Our Stories, a documentary short featuring testimonies from AANHPI community members impacted by Japanese American internment camps and Arizona’s “Show Me Your Papers” law.

By connecting these histories to present-day immigration policies and racial profiling, the documentary explores how the AANHPI community has resisted injustice across generations. After the screening, we will hear from panelists that can further speak on how the AANHPI community in California, Arizona, and New Mexico can find solidarity among our shared history and experiences.

This documentary short features powerful testimonies from AANHPI community leaders living through Arizona’s Japanese-American internment camps during WWII and discrimination under Sheriff Arpaio’s SB1070 law.

By linking past racial injustices and discrimination to present-day anti-immigration policies and racial profiling, “Honor Our Stories” seeks to educate and empower our next generation of leaders to strengthen solidarity among AANHPI, Indigenous, immigrant, and other marginalized communities in Arizona and beyond.
