Support the Olympic Truce in Korea

Rally at Park Street Station

Saturday, February 10, 1pm

On Saturday, February 10 at Park Street Station, activists will celebrate the Olympic Truce, which President Moon Jae-in convinced President Trump to observe, putting off the very provocative war games that the US and South Korea conduct on a regular basis.  We hope that the truce can be extended and that the war games will end.

We will also demand that President Trump stop threatening Kim Jong-un and North Korea with attack, including nuclear attack.  Koreans have a very well-founded fear of the US, remembering or learning about when their country was devastated by US war planes during the Korean war. 

The fact that the two Koreas will march together at the Olympics and that the South Koreans elected a president who favors living peacefully with the North are reasons for hope.  The bills in Congress limiting the president's power to attack North Korea on his own authority are also encouraging.

The Winter Olympics and Paralympics that begin Friday night in Pyeongchang, South Korea, offer a unique moment to promote peace on the Korean Peninsula. In November 2017, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution – supported by both North and South Korea -- calling for an Olympic Truce, or a cessation of hostilities during the Winter Games. Urge our government to end the march toward war and to support the continuation of the talks now taking place between North and South Korea. Tell Vice president Pence to stop using his trip to the Olympics to undermine these talks.
