Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the U.S. government will change its misguided, hard-line policy on North Korea unless American people demand the change first. Therefore, we have launched the Korea Peace Campaign, a grassroots American peoples’ campaign to bring the Korean War to a final end through promotion of genuine peace, reconciliation and friendship between American and Korean people.

National Campaign to End the Korean War

Press conference sponsored by the National Campaign to End the Korea War. The picture below was taken at the press conference on Capitol Hill on 7/26/10. Rep. Kucinich was the speaker. Included in the picture are John Kim, Peter Bronson, and Ben Chitty.

The Campaign will accomplish its mission through 1) educating American public about the true history of the U.S.-Korea relations; 2) mutual exchanges such as sending veterans’ peace delegations; 3) providing assistance to the Korean victims of the War; and 4) building a national coalition for the U.S.-Korea peace. We invite all concerned individuals and organizations to join in this important campaign for peace and reconciliation. Please join us and make a difference!

It is imperative for the American people to recognize the new development in Korea and adopt a new policy toward Korea that supports a comprehensive, permanent peace settlement in Korea . Such a new policy must move from containment and confrontation to dialogue and reconciliation. Thus, we call for the following new policy: 1) ) Stop U.S. military build-ups in Korea; 2) Sign a peace or non-aggression treaty with North Korea and normalize our relations with it; 3) Withdraw our troops from S. Korea; 4) Provide just reparations to the Korean victims of the U.S. war crimes; and 5) Support an independent and peaceful reunification of Korea.
