And with our generous Challenge Grant sponsored by the Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation, any donation made will be matched! #GiveInMay kicks off next week and runs from May 1 to May 31!

#tbt "What happens when the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, seems to get it wrong?"
Find out! Under Executive Order #9066, the Army forced Japanese Americans into incarceration camps during WWII. Fred Korematsu refused to comply with the orders. He was arrested and held in the Presidio Stockade until being sent to the camps. Fred Korematsu fought his conviction and internment with his case making it to the U.S. Supreme Court. 2024 is the anniversary of the December 18, 1944, SCOTUS decision against him.

So get vaccinated and get boosted! And there are additional actions you can take to help #stopthespread to protect yourself and others.
