The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is a membership
organization whose mission is to secure and maintain the human
and civil rights of Americans of Japanese ancestry and others
victimized by injustice. The JACL has 126 chapters nationwide
and eight regional districts with over 24,000 members found
in twenty-three states and Japan. In addition to its national
headquarters in San Francisco, the JACL has five regional offices
(Los Angeles, Fresno, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago), as well
as an office in Washington D.C. and an organizational newspaper,
the Pacific Citizen, distributed nationally from its office
in Los Angeles. The JACL derives its effectiveness through its
regional offices located in key cities and areas to serve the
needs of the organization's members and to maintain the well-being
of all Asian Pacific Americans.
