NDT is an entirely grassroots effort. The alumni members of the 2019 and 2023 trips, as well as other volunteers, are working to share our resources and organize future trips and collaborations.

Goals for future tours

1. An NDT group delegation visits Japan and follows a pre-planned itinerary

2. Anyone in Japan that is interested in NDT-customized support on the topic of 'decolonizing' Japan can contact us and we will gladly share information, or, for a fee or in-kind contribution or exchange, based on availability, provide accompaniment in person. 

3. Consultation with other diasporic Nikkei organizations In North America to custom-design their own group itineraries.

Please join our mailing list and follow us on Insta/Facebook for any announcements!

Goals to make the hidden/silenced in Japan visible

1. Public awareness and community education in the US, mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area where many of us are based, with online resources provided.

2. Developing English-language translations of Japanese political education materials for wider distribution/dissemination. We prioritize translating materials which are overlooked among Japanese voices. For example, the first English translation of the recorded testimonies of all survivors of the Korean and Chinese Massacre in the immediate aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. We are also working to make videos available by creating subtitles in either language.

3. Capturing stories and voices from Japan's "margins." We profile specific people/organizations and their stories and make them available in English. 

Collaboration with partner organizations on aligned issues

In 2019, we held an information exchange and networking event together with Kobe chapter of the Sayama Justice campaign, and in 2023, we partnered with San Francisco 'Comfort Women' Justice Coalition to join national commemoration of the 1923 Korean and Chinese Victims of the Kanto Earthquake & Massacre. We utilize preexisting relationships we have on the ground to seek out opportunities for collaboration, and are always open to your suggestions and invitations.
