A Thank You To Our Members   Thank you for joining Students for Public Art as Social Justice in the campaign to install a freestanding memorial on campus to remember the history of Japanese American internment at SJSU. SPASJ was founded for the purpose of educating students and community members on local and global violations of human rights, through the use of public art. Using public art as a platform to initiate a regional dialogue on human rights, social justice, and civil liberties, SPASJ hopes to contribute to the prevention of future injustices globally and within our own communities. But these goals can only be accomplished with help from members like you. Whether you donate your time or your money, every contribution makes a difference. And we want you to know that we are grateful for your continued support! Thank You! From The Members of Students for Public Art as Social Justice
