LIFT for Peace: End the Travel Ban to North Korea

June 23, 2021

On June 23, 2021, the LIFT (Let Individuals Freely Travel) Campaign held a “End the Travel Ban to North Korea” webinar to discuss with humanitarian workers, separated family members, and others who have traveled extensively to North Korea about the harms caused by the US travel ban on North Korea and how you can support our campaign to lift the ban and allow people to travel freely.

Since 2017, US citizens have been restricted from traveling to North Korea. This ban prevents Korean Americans from visiting their family members in North Korea, hinders humanitarian organizations from delivering critical assistance, and obstructs US citizens from engaging in people-to-people exchanges and peace-building efforts. It’s yet another tragic cost of the unresolved 70-year-old Korean War.

Biden’s Foreign Policy: Challenges, Stakes, Opportunities

June 10, 2021

On June 9, Christine Ahn, Joe Cirincione, Katrina vanden Heuvel, and Cynthia Lazaroff discussed Biden’s foreign policy. These experts sounded the alarm on the militarization of US foreign policy, the human and financial costs, the Biden administration’s proposed $752.9 billion defense budget – an increase from the Trump years – along with the administration’s commitment to proceed with the estimated $1.5 trillion modernization of America’s nuclear arsenal over the next 15 years, which many experts believe will actually increase the risk of a nuclear confrontation.
