“Love Our Communities: Stop Asian Hate” is the theme of a rally to be held Saturday, March 13, at 3:30 p.m. outside the Japanese American National Museum, First and Central streets in Little Tokyo.
The rally is a response to reports of increasing anti-Asian attacks across the country, including the Southland, and efforts by community organizations and government agencies to address the problem.
Organizers describe the event as “a grounding, healing space in the wake of anti-Asian violence. Meet, collaborate, and build with grassroot organizations doing direct work in Los Angeles Asian American communities.”

History has not been kind to the Owens Valley.
Indigenous people called the Owens Valley “Payahuunadü,” or the land of flowing water, and settled along the banks of its river, creeks and springs more than 150 years ago. In the early 1900s, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power took control of the valley’s rich natural resource, which streamed through the plains at the foothills of the Eastern Sierra, to sustain an expanding megalopolis 200 miles south.
In 1942, the now dry, dusty valley became the infamous site for the Manzanar concentration camp, where more than 11,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated until 1945.
