How to Prevent a Coup: Lessons from Korea Webinar with Cathi Choi, Daehan Song, and Hwang Jeong-eun
April 28, 2025
The ongoing struggle for self-governance in South Korea has seen a powerful and significantly successful nonviolent movement act quickly and strategically to prevent martial law. In some countries, such as the United States, people often watch others in distant places like Korea, Bolivia, Tunisia, Bangladesh, or Niger nonviolently turn back coups and dictatorships, even while the U.S. government steadily advances an unaccountable police state and no appropriate movement challenges these steps.
In this webinar, we’ll hear voices from Korea on lessons from recent experience, on the U.S. role in Korea, and take your questions. RSVP at bit.ly/wbw0425 or the link in bio ?
