The Asian Drug War Healing Circle is an intergenerational space for Asians (East, West, South, Central, bicultural, diaspora) folks who identify as people who use drugs and/or love people who use drugs. Together, we hope to deepen our understanding of and heal from the War on Drugs and problematic drug use through political education, storytelling, and skills building. This is not an advocacy or a recovery space, but a space for healing, open and honest conversation, and community building.

The Asian American Drug War Healing Circle through the Center for Political Drug Education (CPDE) founded by Hsing Yi (Frances) Fu and Rhana Hashemi has been a safe space for Asian Americans to begin to unpack intergenerational layers of silence around drug use through political and drug education. This offering continues on at APC as the expanded Asian Drug War Healing Circle.

This is the second in a series of 5 events (4/23, 5/20, 6/17, 7/15, 8/19). The topic of this circle is "Compassionate Inquiry: Connecting the Personal to the Political as Asian Drug". In this circle, we will be unpacking the colonization of drug use and prohibition, and learn the tools of compassionate inquiry to better understand our relationships with drugs.

In the spirit of deep connection, this donation-based event is specifically for Asians (East, West, South, Central, bicultural, diaspora). We need your support in keeping these programs going. Please consider donating a suggested amount of $25. Thank you. We are not able to offer refunds or exchanges for any of our events at this time. Thank you for understanding.
