We at the Pike Place Market Foundation apologize to our community. We acknowledge our decision around Day of Remembrance and Resistance created direct harm and impacted our entire community, specifically our Japanese American advocates and neighbors who are threatened by federal deportation policies and orders. We want to be better allies moving forward.

We are in communication with Tsuru for Solidarity and are requesting the opportunity for a repair process.

Our commitment is and has always been to keep our community members safe and supported. While we are not an advocacy organization by definition, we do have a role to play as leaders and allies in our community.     
 
Pike Place Market is a place for all people and the Pike Place Market Foundation is deeply committed to our community and standing strong together.   

We can and we will do better.   

Lillian Sherman, Executive Director
