Japanese American Committee for Democracy

The Japanese American Committee for Democracy (JACD) was an anti-fascist organization during World War II.〔Pacific Citizens: Larry and Guyo Tajiri and Japanese American Journalism in ... edited by Greg Robinson INTRODUCTION xxv〕
==History==

The Committee was founded in New York in 1940 as the Committee for Democratic Treatment for Japanese Residents in Eastern States. Its first leader was Issei Reverend Alfred Akamatsu.
Following World War II, the committee received its ultimate title and began organizing public demonstrations of Japanese American loyalty. These demonstrations included war bond rallies, blood drives, and art exhibitions. A number of its members also volunteered for the Foreign Language Division of the Office of War Information as translators or writers.
JACD originally had a mixed Issei-Nisei membership and limited its activities to New York City. However, by the mid-1940s, the JACD had transformed itself into a mass Nisei-based organization that urged political action nationwide. By the end of 1944, all Issei board members were asked to resign.
JACD reached out to the Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance and endorsed the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In 1944 the JACD joined the Communist-sponsored National Negro Congress in a fall rally to support the reelection of President Franklin Roosevelt.〔After Camp: Portraits in Midcentury Japanese American Life and Politics By Greg Robinson Page 183-190〕
Despite the organization's apparent focus, its information discussed a variety of topics. The newsletter promoted rallies, cultural and political events and reported on issues such as "Nisei in the Army" and democracy in postwar Japan. The newsletter also contained JACD business sections such as "Membership Meetings," "Community News," and editorials.〔(Japanese American Committee For Democracy News Letter )〕
American writer and novelist Pearl Buck gave a speech to JACD in New York City in April 1942, in which she proclaimed her support for Japanese-Americans.
