Dear friend,
Thanks to all of your hard work and brilliant advocacy, we have seven new Korea Peace Champions! This movement in Congress signals the growing strength and power of our Korea peace movement.
But as our movement grows, we must stay vigilant. Last month, we opened the Honolulu Star-Advertiser to find a giant ad warning that H.R.1369, the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act, is “dangerous.” The person behind this ad is Annie M.H. Chan, the secretive oligarch that bankrolls right-wing organizations attacking our Korea peace movement.
While this right-wing network may have tons of corporate money, we have grassroots people power! Join us for our National Korea Peace Now! Grassroots Network Meeting on Thursday, September 14, 2023, at 5pm PT/8pm ET (click here to join by Zoom) for a political teach-in on countering false narratives about the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act. We will also brainstorm strategies to increase the number of congressional sign-ons.
As always, we appreciate your support of this work! Click here to donate.
