The ongoing struggle for self-governance in South Korea has seen a
powerful and significantly successful nonviolent movement act quickly
and strategically to prevent martial law.
In some countries, such as the United States, people often
watch others in distant places like Korea, Bolivia, Tunisia,
Bangladesh, or Niger nonviolently turn back coups and dictatorships,
even while the U.S. government steadily advances an unaccountable police
state and no appropriate movement challenges these steps.
We'll hear
voices from Korea on lessons from recent experience, and on the U.S. role in
Korea, and take your questions.
This 60-minute, live event is free and open to the public.
The timing is April 25, 2025, at 2 p.m. in Honolulu, 5 p.m. in Los
Angeles, 6 p.m. in Mexico City, 8 p.m. in New York, and April 26 at 8
a.m. in Beijing, 9 a.m. in Seoul, 10 a.m. in Sydney, and noon in
Auckland.
