	Anti-Gentrification
We continue to fight for a Little Tokyo where the people, not the landlords, collectively control the property. A Little Tokyo where the businesses exist to meet the needs of the people and not the Orientalist fantasies of gentrifiers and tourists. We fight against displacement and gentrification knowing that Little Tokyo sits upon land that was never meant to be private property.Sign the Little Tokyo Community Boycott Pledge

	Political Education
The longest journeys still start with a few basic steps. If we are to 
bring about revolution, we have to learn how to be revolutionaries. We 
all have to get used to asking questions, making criticisms, developing 
theories, and empowering each other to do the same.

	Mutual Aid












In the broadest terms, Mutual Aid is the practice of cooperation and reciprocity. This practice is as old as life itself, and practiced not only by humans but all forms of life. For J-Town Action and Solidarity, Mutual Aid is a form of political organizing. 


Mutual Aid is a direct challenge to the notion that human beings’ economic practice should be based on competition and individualism. The practice of Mutual Aid should further the project of defeating capitalism.
We practice mutual aid through our weekly Power Up from 2 PM to 5 PM, held every Saturday on 1st St and Judge John Aiso St. in Little Tokyo.

Power Up Starter GuideThis mutual aid model is adapted to the resources and needs present in our community, and it continues to change as these things change. This guide offers an example, not a rulebook. It's up to you to figure out what's appropriate for your community and to work with what's available. We started with one table!

Get to Know your Community 
Organize a few friends and talk to people in the area to see what the needs are.

Location
A consistent time and place.

Equipment
 Tables, Chairs, Shaded Area or Canopy, Signs, Trash bags, Cleaning Materials

Charging Table
 Make sure that everyone&#38;nbsp; is using the same system to keep track of devices. Here is the sheet we use &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

Portable power station with multiple charging ports (we like EcoFlow), power strips/surge protectors, charging cables (USB-C and Micro-USB most common), wall chargers, paper tracking sheet, pens, markers, small bins, masking tape to identify items, claim tickets (e.g. raffle tickets)&#38;nbsp;
Harm Reduction/PPE &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;
 Offer harm reduction discreetly.
 “Do you know of anyone who could use these items?”
Narcan, Sharps Containers, Clean Kits, Hygiene Kits, Masks, Tampons, Pads
We partner with LA Community Health Project&#38;nbsp;

Meals/Snacks&#38;nbsp;
Delicious, nutritious with variety — ask folks what they like! &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;
Soft snacks (sensitive teeth), fresh fruit, cold water when it’s hot, warm beverages when it’s cold.

Clothes&#38;nbsp;
Folded nicely on table or on hangers on a clothing rack.
 Clean, larger sizes, practical, socks, shoes

Literature&#38;nbsp;
Share resources and information. Political Education is very important, without this key component, your efforts run the risk of doing the city’s job. Let folks know who you are, why you are fighting for liberation for all, and inspire them to get involved!

	Anti-Gentrification

Little Tokyo is now 1 of 3 remaining historic Japantowns left in the nation, nearly 140 years old, the 2nd oldest neighborhood in Los Angeles. Our community is shrinking each day at the hands of gentrification and the violent policing that enforces it. The developers, landlords, and corrupt politicians are stealing Little Tokyo from right beneath our feet. We are surrounded by LAPD headquarters, Dept of Homeland Security, and 
Men’s Central Jail. Every corner is swarming with private security and 
Business Improvement District goons, while the Koban hides an LAPD substation under the guise of its label as a “Visitor 
Center.” Now with the Metro Regional Connector opening, the policing and
 violence will continue to escalate. 
The struggle within our community is very real. Historic First 
Street North has survived multiple waves of displacement and 
redevelopment, including the WWII Japanese Amerikan incarceration in 
concentration camps. Today we continue to be held hostage by the 
developers and landlords as they bring skyrocketing rents that are once 
again forcing us out of our own community.

Killer Cop Landlord Evicts Suehiro
This fight has come to a head with the illegal eviction of one of the 
oldest restaurants in Little Tokyo, Suehiro Cafe.
 We must stop killer 
cop and slumlord heir, Anthony Sperl’s scheme to warp Little Tokyo into 
“something that resembles Melrose.”

Seniors for $ale
In early May 2021, Japanese Americans living at senior living facilities established by Keiro were served 60-day eviction notices to clear the way for market-rate housing. The hypocritical profiteers in the JA community claim that: “For 60 years, the name Keiro (“respect for our elders”) has reflected the values of the JA and Japanese community and our commitment to enhance the quality of senior life in Our Community.”

Beginning in 1961, Keiro provided culturally sensitive care for the community. The foundation expanded its real estate holdings and services with donations, including many elderly JA’s who signed over their properties towards the end of their lives. In 2016, the Keiro Foundation sold its four senior care facilities to Pacifica for $41 million.

The seniors were given a five year grace period and an intentionally ineffective community advisory board. Pacifica chose to designate the Lincoln Heights facility as a Covid-19 site for profit, bringing Covid patients into the home, leading the facility to have one of the worst death rates in the country.

Our so-called leaders have always seized the opportunity to betray our community in favor of businesses and developers. In the 1940s, our neighborhoods were forcefully converted into the LAPD’s Parker Center. In the last decade, the city seized our neighborhoods again to expand the Metro. Japanese Village Plaza was sold to Public Storage to host gentrifying businesses like Mokuyobi. Their greed has engineered a commercial “community” that prioritizes wealth to strengthen a violent pattern of displacement.

We demand answers from Shawn Miyake, former President and the board. We demand full disclosure of every dollar of Keiro’s sale. We demand transparency from any organization that claims to represent us and their prioritization of the working class and housing insecure.

These betrayals cannot continue. Care will not be killed by greed. We do not accept the defeatist refrain of Shikata ga nai. It can be helped.

We've sent Sperl our boycott pledge and asked him to meet with the Little Tokyo community before setting up any new business in Suehiro's place, but we've heard nothing but silence in return. Our community is disappearing before our very eyes. Another long-standing community business, Little Tokyo Arts &#38;amp; Gifts, received an eviction notice in the last few weeks. Mark Falcone and Continuum Partners' incoming Cold Storage luxury development on 4th and Central threatens to fundamentally reshape our neighborhood. Kenji Suzuki, owner of Suehiro Cafe, has said that he wants to return to Little Tokyo some day. But if we don't start fighting back against predatory landlords and developers, there won't be a Little Tokyo for Kenji to come back to. If Sperl won't listen to our community, then he has no right to do business in our community. Join us on Tuesday, January 16th, at 1:30pm in front of Suehiro Cafe on 1st St.&#38;nbsp;N, for a rally to show Sperl that we're ready to boycott if he doesn't start respecting Little Tokyo. Let's show every predatory landlord and/or developer in Little Tokyo that we won't let them gentrify our community!We hope to see you there.

	Little Tokyo Against Gentrification&#38;nbsp; / LTAG
Killer Cop Landlord Evicts Suehiro
Sign the Little Tokyo Community Boycott Pledge
Join Our Picket Line&#38;nbsp;
This fight has come to a head with the illegal eviction of one of the 
oldest restaurants in Little Tokyo, Suehiro Cafe.
 We must stop killer 
cop and slumlord heir, Anthony Sperl’s scheme to warp Little Tokyo into 
“something that resembles Melrose.”Little Tokyo is one of the last Japantowns in the country, with our community shrinking each day at the hands of gentrification and the violent policing that enforces it. The developers, landlords, and corrupt politicians are stealing Little Tokyo from right beneath our feet. We are surrounded by LAPD headquarters, Dept of Homeland Security, and Men’s Central Jail. Every corner is swarming with private security and Business Improvement District goons, while the Koban hides an LAPD substation under the guise of its label as a “Visitor Center.” Now with the Metro Regional Connector opening, the policing and violence will continue to escalate. 
The struggle within our community is very real. Historic First Street North has survived multiple waves of displacement and redevelopment, including the WWII Japanese Amerikan incarceration in concentration camps. Today we continue to be held hostage by the developers and landlords as they bring skyrocketing rents that are once again forcing us out of our own community.LTAG is a united front organization including: J-Town Action と Solidarity &#124; Save Our Seniors Network &#124; Greater Los Angeles JACL





	&#60;img width="2680" height="2680" width_o="2680" height_o="2680" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/25c0b6acca297e30b582a8b635e9403405b3d2ab81aa4c78aa626caf4d021827/Boycott-Sperl.jpg" data-mid="202302264" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/25c0b6acca297e30b582a8b635e9403405b3d2ab81aa4c78aa626caf4d021827/Boycott-Sperl.jpg" /&#62;










Suehiro Cafe opened in Little Tokyo in 1972. More than ten years ago, owner Kenji Suzuki asked his landlord Tony Sperl to renew Suehiro’s long-term lease. Sperl repeatedly told Kenji that he was working on renewing it, only for Sperl to change his mind in 2014 when Metro began constructing a new regional connector in Little Tokyo. Kenji kept paying his rent month-to-month, while Sperl in 2018 quietly filed permits to establish a marijuana dispensary. &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;


In 2022, Sperl nearly doubled the rent. Kenji kept mailing his checks, but Sperl refused to cash them, instead filing for eviction in March 2023 on the false claim that Kenji wasn’t paying rent. Sperl withdrew his original false suit in June, but he refused to extend Suehiro’s lease and ultimately evicted them in January 2024.


Sperl has been saying that he wants Little Tokyo to transform into a place like Melrose Avenue. Paperwork filed back in 2018 and 2019 indicates (see below) has it he wants to bring in a marijuana dispensary. If left unchecked, landlords and developers like Tony Sperl have the power to completely reshape or “gentrify” Little Tokyo. That’s why we’re pledging to boycott the next business Sperl brings in to replace Suehiro unless he starts listening to the interests of our community, and why we’ll be picketing in front of his building every Saturday to show Sperl or any other potential gentrifiers that we’re serious.

We've sent Sperl our boycott pledge and asked him to meet with the Little Tokyo community before setting up any new business in Suehiro's place, but we've heard nothing but silence in return. We want a formal commitment from Sperl that he won’t bring a dispensary to 1st Street North.&#38;nbsp;If Sperl won't listen to our community, then he has no right to do business in our community.
 Our community is disappearing before our very eyes. Another long-standing community business, Little Tokyo Arts &#38;amp; Gifts, received an eviction notice in January 2024. Mark Falcone and Continuum Partners' incoming Cold Storage luxury development on 4th and Central threatens to fundamentally reshape our neighborhood. Kenji Suzuki, owner of Suehiro Cafe, has said that he wants to return to Little Tokyo some day. But if we don't start fighting back against predatory landlords and developers, there won't be a Little Tokyo for Kenji to come back to. Join our boycott and weekly picket, and let's show every predatory landlord and/or developer in Little Tokyo that we won't let them gentrify our community!

How to Make Onigiri Seed Bombs!
Beautify your community
Support the local ecosystem
+ concrete sucks!
Materials
Makes ~10 mini onigiris

6 cups shredded or cut up paper
2 quarts hot water
2 tbsp native seeds
1 large bowl
1/2 cup compost
1 mini onigiri mold
10 long strips of heavily printed
newspaper for "nori"

1 pair of rubber gloves

	&#60;img width="1200" height="1853" width_o="1200" height_o="1853" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4400f301eaeb185ea1cb9bb55b6ed19f1f47ed3c914750cd8b890bf99b7a949/onigiri-workshop-jas.jpg" data-mid="245417540" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4400f301eaeb185ea1cb9bb55b6ed19f1f47ed3c914750cd8b890bf99b7a949/onigiri-workshop-jas.jpg" /&#62;










Process
In a bowl, submerge the shredded paper in hot water. Soak for at least 15 minutes. Ensure that the paper is thoroughly saturated before starting the next steps. Once the paper is ready, take small amounts of wet paper out of the bowl, squeezing any excess water out before placing it in the bottom and sides of the mold. The paper layer should be at least 3 mm thick with none of the bottom of the mold visible. Remove any excess water. (you can dump it back into the bowl) &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; TIP: Place the wet paper between the palms of your hand and squeeze the water out so that you have a relatively flat layer of paper. This will make lining the mold easier!Add compost so that it fills up about half of the open space in the inside of the mold.Add a pinch of seeds.Fill the remaining part of the hole up with compost.Cover the hole with more paper, a lid of sorts closing in the seeds and compost.Close the mold cover to complete forming into the onigiri shape. &#38;nbsp;If the bomb doesn't fill the entire mold, add more paper.Carefully remove the onigiri seed bomb.Soak the “nori” newspaper strips in warm water for 10 min. Wrap around the onigiri and press firmly.&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Leave seed bomb in a well ventilated place to dry&#38;nbsp;(can take 2 to 3 days, depending on climate)
Take Action!Throw or bury seed bombs into sunny empty lots, parking medians and overgrown, fenced-off areas with somewhat soft soil.

Water thoroughly or throw during the rain to ensure the bomb breaks down.

Best thrown in spring or late fall.

	Political Education

J-Town Action と SolidarityReading Group Syllabus (2021)
Google drive folder of readings


This syllabus is being developed and modified ad hoc to meet the interests and needs of the JAS 2021 Reading Group. Its general purpose is threefold:&#38;nbsp;
1. To introduce participants to the history of the Asian Amerikan movement (its successes and eventual failure).
2. To explain the movement’s theoretical foundations and methods.
 3. To offer new pathways for struggle.

This is a group for revolutionary study. That’s not hyperbole—we need to take seriously the question of how we overthrow the empire and establish a democratic, non-exploitative world. The longest journeys still start with a few basic steps. If we are to bring about revolution, we have to learn how to be revolutionaries. We all have to get used to asking questions, making criticisms, developing theories, and empowering each other to do the same. Remember: the revolutionary method will always be more important than any piece of revolutionary knowledge.&#38;nbsp;So please, use this reading group as a space to practice revolutionary thought.When reading a text, always keep a few questions in mind: What is the author’s argument? What concepts and ideas are important to their argument? Do you agree with their argument? Why or why not? Can you apply their argument to your own experiences?

It’s completely normal to feel confused or lost when reading. This group exists precisely because it’s difficult to read and study on our own. If you have trouble understanding something, bring it&#38;nbsp;up to the group! Try and break your confusion down into parts. What context was missing? What&#38;nbsp;phrasing was difficult to understand? What concept or term was unfamiliar? We can then use the&#38;nbsp;group to tackle these questions.

Try and come to each session with at least one or two things that you’re interested in discussing.

These can be things you want clarified, things you want to challenge, questions on how we apply the knowledge—anything that gives us more opportunities to think together.
