Many respiratory viruses, like influenza (flu), COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), circulate year-round, typically with more infections in fall and winter (from October to March). So get vaccinated and get boosted! And there are additional actions you can take to help #stopthespread to protect yourself and others. If you notice symptoms, stay home, get tested, and seek treatment if necessary. Find the most recent CDC updates on respiratory viruses here: shorturl.at/kxyRZ
#fbf More than 125,000 Japanese Americans were forced into the government’s incarceration camps during World War II. At the Korematsu Institute, we believe the fight for justice, racial equity, and human rights begins with education. All of our stories are important. As our our histories. Watch this Densho #HiHoKids video where kids meet a survivor of the Japanese American Incarceration and learn the importance of sharing our histories. Watch here:
"At a time when we see women’s rights and civil rights being rolled back, we need to stand up for women. The time to stand up for Misuye giving voice to thousands of innocent Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated during World War II is now."
