Thank you @RepBobbyRush for co-sponsoring H.R.3446, the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act, and recognizing that we need urgent diplomacy in pursuit of a binding peace agreement to formally end the Korean War. #KoreaPeaceNow
We strongly denounce the arms race on the Korean Peninsula and call on the US and international community to avoid responding with military force or more sanctions, which will only escalate tensions and harm lives. https://t.co/qNCIe8Nk5a
Beyond the neoliberal economic order: S Korean workers, farmers and urban poor join forces ahead of presidential election to demand real change: https://t.co/cK0W1WT5iX
Crucial reporting by @akuhnNPRnews on South Korean villagers protesting US plans to upgrade its THAAD missile defense -- a symptom of the growing arms race in Asia. "THAAD is a part of the U.S.' global anti-China united front."

Did the House just approve a $778 billion defense budget?!!
We just withdrew from Afghanistan, and I thought Biden said we're weaning off forever wars.
Where's the $ to deal with COVID-19 and climate change?

We're calling on the US State Dept to lift the travel ban to North Korea to allow Korean Americans to visit their families, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and people-to-people exchanges and peace-building efforts. Read our letter to the US State Dept: https://t.co/Xe7TI227m2
Tomorrow, join LIFT (Let Individuals Freely Travel)—a joint campaign of the @KoreaPeaceNet, @KoreaPeaceNow Grassroots Network, and Peace Treaty Now—in a discussion with those impacted by the travel ban and how you can support our campaign. Register: https://t.co/5nVNPKHD6n
The US travel ban to North Korea prevents Korean Americans from visiting family members, hinders humanitarian orgs from delivering critical assistance, and obstructs people-to-people exchanges and peace-building efforts. It’s yet another tragic cost of the unresolved Korean War.
The US travel ban on North Korea is yet another tragic cost of the unresolved 70-year-old Korean War. On June 23, learn how you can support lifting the ban to allow families to reunite and people-to-people exchanges. Register: https://t.co/5nVNPKHD6n
Since 2017, US citizens have been restricted from traveling to North Korea. The ban prevents the reunion of separated families and life-saving humanitarian assistance from reaching vulnerable North Koreans. Time to lift the ban! #LIFT4Peace
