The Japanese American National Museum is amplifying its powerful voice. Our campus and programs showcase how Japanese Americans’ lives, experiences, and culture intersect and resonate with the experiences of marginalized communities in the United States.

Our story is an American story. Our founders promised that the Museum would stand as a beacon of civil rights to ensure that what happened to Japanese Americans in 1942 would never happen to any other group. We are therefore embarking on the largest comprehensive campaign in our history to secure our future and transform our physical and digital campus, our exhibitions, and our programming.

A campaign this ambitious requires the partnership and support of our entire community to succeed.

We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 5, 2023, from 2 to 5 p.m. at our Public Launch event to celebrate our success to date. You will be among the first to hear about our upcoming plans and preview our campaign video.

Please RSVP to this special occasion by August 1 by visiting janm.org/our-promise-launch-celebration, or contacting Jennifer Vu at jvu@janm.org or 213.830.5670.

We hope to see you soon!
