Yet another day of eating noodles for lunch with staff because we admittedly really love noodles😋 Recently, we've been enjoying Miso Ramen!

The wonderful thing about miso is how versatile it is in cooking. You aren’t just limited to having a simple (but delicious) miso soup. It can also serve as a base for ramen or hot pot, or elevate your favorite fish, protein, and veggie dishes!

That’s why we’re offering a special Miso Making Workshop led by Instructor Yoshiko Thomas on October 24 from 12-2pm here at the Center. Learn how to make your own miso from scratch so that you can start incorporating it into your meals!

📣JOIN US ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18th for WE REMEMBER, WE RESIST!!

🏮Tsuru for Solidarity and fellow community organizations will be gathering on Sunday, October 18, for a Liberation Obon and Solidarity Pilgrimage honoring Asian communities targeted by ICE.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓: Liberation Obon & Solidarity Pilgrimage–altar building, Buddhist ceremony, walking meditation, music, and bon odori (obon dance)
𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: Sunday, Oct 18 from 1-5pm
𝐖𝐇𝐎: Open to all!
𝐑𝐒𝐕𝐏: tinyurl.com/obon-10-18
—
❤️‍🔥Grounded in Buddhist teachings on interbeing and interdependence, we will co-create a space to honor our ancestors and grieve the lives lost to the unjust and inhumane immigration system, paying special tribute to the stories of Asian ancestors. Through altar building, Buddhist ceremony, walking meditation, and bon odori dancing, we will remember and console the spirits of all those who have been killed by ICE this year.

Our neighbors, friends, and communities face increasing arrests and deportations, with California seeing the highest rates of Asian arrests in the US. The conditions of ICE enforcement and detention are inhumane and deadly; since 2025, 80 people, including 14 people from Asian communities, have died at the hands of ICE.

We must keep showing up. Interdependence means that we are not free, until we are all free. As we move toward the November elections, building our capacity for mass nonviolent resistance will be essential to upholding our democracy and keeping our communities safe. Let’s rise together to meet this moment with fierce compassion and solidarity.

📍SCHEDULE/LOCATIONS:
1-1:30pm: Procession through Japantown, starting at KOHO (1675 Post St)
1:30-2:15pm: Altar building @ Kinmon Gakuen (2031 Bush St)
