For this study group, we are asking that only people who identify as Nikkei or Japanese (including mixed race and ethnicity Nikkei/Japanese folks) attend.

We are creating this as a Nikkei/Japanese specific space because the purpose of this group is to collectively and honestly engage in an ongoing dialogue about the abolition of policing, surveillance, detention and incarceration, and build an abolitionist framework to inform and guide our organizing efforts in community. We want to openly discuss and express feelings and questions we have, without other people having to hold space for those questions and feelings.

The organizers of this study group are not experts and will be learning alongside members of this study group.
