Join us for a screening of Enduring Democracy: The Monterey Petition, a film that tells the little-known story of how, at the end of WWII, Monterey became one of the only U.S. communities to publicly welcome Japanese Americans back from incarceration. Through rediscovered footage, personal stories, and archival materials, the film highlights the courageous grassroots campaign led by local women to resist racism and affirm democratic values. Enduring Democracy resonates as both a local story and a universal call for equity, inclusion, and justice. Learn more at jaclmonterey.org/documentary-film
