The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is excited to release the results of its first comprehensive membership survey in sixteen years. The survey, developed by Erika Braun in collaboration with JACL and AAPI Data, captures perspectives from 510 members and paints a portrait of a membership that is politically activated by the current moment and draws historic parallels between incarceration in World War II and current immigration enforcement tactics.
This white paper presents findings from the 2025 State of the JACL Membership Survey, the organization’s first comprehensive membership assessment since 2009.
78% of JACL members say the U.S. immigration debate has worsened discrimination against AANHPI communities; nearly 1 in 6 members report feeling personally vulnerable due to household immigration status; over 80% support JACL focusing on broader immigration policy advocacy; hate incidents are reported across every district; racial justice and equity is the top policy priority across every generation; and pan-ethnic coalition support is near-universal.
