In 2001 Community Images was invited to participate at the Higashikawa Photo Fiesta in Hokkaido, Japan. During our trip, we experienced Japanese home stays in Higashikawa and Hakodate, Hokkaido. The rest of the time we traveled around the Tokyo area including visiting Sensoji Temple.

Hands Off Mass Mobilization Saturday April 5, 2025 San Jose

A common theme at the demo


ICE violently and illegally arrested Ulises, a 30-year old husband, father, and resident, on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025, after he was leaving for work, resulting in hospitalization. ICE officers verbally abused Ulises, smashed in his car window with a baton, and violently dragged him out of his car. He is now at risk of being transferred to ICE custody instead of allowed to go home to his family. For questions, please contact the Santa Clara County Rapid Response network at rrninscc@amigosdeguadalupe.org and Elena Hodges at elena@pangealegal.org.

Rapid Response Network Volunteer Training SJ January 11, 2025

Jesus Ruiz RRN & Pangea Legal Services
Training participants
Entire audience


On January 11, 2025 over 125 people participated in a San Jose Japantown training by the Rapid Response Network (RRN) of Santa Clara County. The RRN in Santa Clara County defends immigrant families against threats of deportation and assists with the arrest or detention of a community member. The Rapid Responder Volunteer Trainings initially started during the Trump administration starting in 2017. Immigrant deportations only victimize and criminalize people without really solving the immigration issue. The training was organized by San Jose Nikkei Resisters and co-sponsored by PACT: People Acting in Community Together, Asian Law Alliance, Nihonmachi Outreach Committee, San Jose and Sequoia chapters of the JACL, Wesley United Methodist Church and the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin.
