    The Tule Lake Segregation Center tells a story of the resilience of thousands of Japanese Americans who exercised their rights to protest and resist discrimination, incarceration, family separation, and direct attacks on their citizenship and human rights.

    Today, a proposed 8 to 10-foot-high security fence could permanently alter the setting, viewshed, and archaeological integrity of the site.

    Survivors and descendants believe the proposed fence would desecrate this sacred site.

    Tule Lake Segregation Center has been included on the National Trust’s 2026 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.

    Public advocacy can make a difference.

    Ask your Members of Congress to support the Tule Lake Segregation Center and National Monument.
