Memorial Day is a time to contemplate the sacrifices of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the ideals of our nation. Among the many important stories, we should reflect on the unique experience of Nisei soldiers. #AAPIHeritageMonth usjapancouncil.org/news/aapi…

I grieve with my Black colleagues, USJC members, friends, and community, and stand beside you against racism, oppression, violence and injustice. You matter.
It is with great sadness that we once again bear witness to a divided U.S. that causes pain to so many. As an organization founded by Japanese Americans, the U.S.-Japan Council strives to champion inclusivity, diversity and equity.
Thank you everyone who made made me feel so welcome during my first week back at @USJC. So thrilled to be back home.
We are pleased to announce our new President and CEO, Suzanne Basalla, Chief of Staff at @toyotaresearch and former USJC EVP and COO. Further appointments are Paul Yonamine as Board of Directors Chair and Ernest Higa as Board of Councilors Chair. usjapancouncil.org/news/anno…

@latareddy - - giving an additional $1M into supporting @TOMODACHI was an easy investment because of the quality and transformations of TOMO alumni. They are our future, and we are in good hands. #USJCAC
