People's Summit for Korea
Hundreds of activists, the majority from Korea or the Korean diaspora, participated in a People's Summit for Korea at the historic Riverside Church in New York City July 25-26.
The struggle for Korea’s sovereignty is at a crossroads. Despite empty gestures toward diplomacy, U.S. imperialism continues to escalate tensions in Korea—expanding war exercises, deepening the Japan-South Korea-U.S. alliance, and pushing the peninsula to the brink of war. But our movements are fighting back.
The People’s Summit for Korea united activists across borders and built a collective strategy for liberation. Together, they
analyzed the impact of U.S. imperialism on Korea and the world, strategized how to advance the fight for peace, sovereignty, and collective liberation, and celebrated resistance through cultural performances and collective action.
Working people in the U.S. and Korea face the same enemy: a war machine that profits from occupation. This summit was our chance to forge solidarity, sharpen our political education, and organize for a future where Korea—and all nations resisting imperialism—can determine their own destinies.
Convened by: Nodutdol for Korean Community Development, Koreans for Anti-Imperialism and Sovereignty (KAS), Korea Peace Now Grassroots Network (KPNGN), Korea Policy Institute (KPI), Koreans 4 Decolonization (K4D), The People’s Forum, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, Anti-War Action Network (AWAN), Dissenters, and The United National AntiWar Coalition (UNAC)
