Rally for Inclusion

Remembering the 135th Anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act

Saturday, May 6, 2017 – NOON
Portsmouth Square
735 Kearny Street
San Francisco Chinatown

*The rally is wheelchair accessible.

On the 135th Anniversary of the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we stand together in solidarity to resist the Muslim travel ban and anti-immigrant and refugee policies. Excluding immigrants on the basis of race and religion was wrong then and it is wrong now!
