By Resistance at Tule Lake
September 27, 2017
This is an urgent call to help save historic Tule Lake.
Tule Lake is where more than 24,000 Japanese Americans were
imprisoned during World War II. The proposed three-mile-long, eight-feet-high,
barbed-wire fence would cut off Japanese American access to the site upon which
they and their families were incarcerated. They say a fence is necessary to
protect the site from wildlife, but birds are the major form of wildlife at the
airport and a fence is ineffective in preventing bird strikes.
#SaveTuleLake
We have until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 10 to write to
Modoc County and tell them we oppose the construction of a three-mile-long
fence that will close off an airport that sits on two-thirds of the former
concentration camp site.
If built, it will permanently close off
access to the barracks area where most people lived. A national civil
rights site will be irreparably damaged.[…]
