How We Work

The NEED

Hidden, erased, gaps everywhere -- there is NO WHOLENESS, NO CONFORMED SINGULARITY. 

Reconciliation. Making whole ‘again.’ disjointed pieces.

Creating an actual bridge across people.

emphasis on communal learning and sharing as a way NDT seems to be living and interacting 

not just informational/educational. It is not about static knowledge. To share the same experience with activists/organizers/great human beings that I respect and be able to listen to and learn from each other's perspectives is priceless.

I know about Japanese occupation of Korea, have heard of my families experiences and histories during this time period, want to ground myself in the history and current struggles more, highlight how the past is not the past.

To study connection b/w my struggles and their struggles.

To build connections across the Pacific Ocean and also within Turtle Island so we together can bring about a world that we would like to leave for future generations

continue relations developed in 2023 and before.  Educat & mobilize unfinished business from WWII re JLA, comfort women, etc.  and current struggles

beck: bring back connection and many things to org and communities.

Connection- and community building across the Pacific Ocean and across issues and groups

• emphasis on communal learning and sharing 

• Is not just informational/educational nor static knowledge. To share the same experience with activists/organizers/great human beings that I respect and be able to listen to and learn from each other's perspectives is priceless.
