The Way Foward
Stand Up! with Pete Dominick
Like I said for months "Trump will win." Sigh. I'm sorry for giving you false hope again. The results aren't final as I write this but it looks bad. I guess my role in your life is to do all I can to keep and build a community of people who remind each other of the good in the world and do all I can to keep us connected. I will host a zoom chat tonight (Weds Nov 6) to chart the way forward with you. Get rest. Find peace. Help the least amongst us. Look out for each other. I'll be here shining a light as long as I can Pete

FACING THE MOUNTAIN provides a portrait of Japanese American life during World War II, but its lessons have never been more relevant than now. Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have seen a rise in anti-Asian sentiment throughout the country. FACING THE MOUNTAIN forces us to grapple with questions of who willingly and unwillingly makes sacrifices for our country, how constitutional rights look different to each of us, and what it really means to be a patriot. Unblinking, unsentimental, and without euphemism FACING THE MOUNTAIN lays out in vivid detail how the American government and people treated the Japanese Americans, before and during the war, and why that matters today.
