Christine Ahn organized the 2015 Women’s March across the Korean DMZ, including Nobel Peace Laureates, women from North and South Korea and peace activists from across the world-including Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright from the US. Participants continue to advocate with global policy makers for a peaceful settlement. Christine is now leading a women’s peace delegation to the January 16th Forum of Foreign Ministers from 20 Countries in Vancouver, Canada.  Christine’s story at: https://www.womencrossdmz.org/christine-ahn/

During this incredibly dangerous moment, when Trump has threatened to destroy North Korea, we all need to be well informed about the situation so we can advocate here for a Washington policy that does not expose the Korean peninsula to a devastating conflict or the world to a nuclear strike launched by a button-loving US president.

 Christine’s talk is part of a National Campaign for Actions Around the Olympic Truce, to transform the recent progress – North Korea’s Olympic participation, North South talks, US agreement to postpone its war games until after the Olympics – into other steps to de-militarize the situation.

Christine’s visit is organized by Women Against War and Historians for Peace and Democracy-Capital District. Her talk is hosted by the Social Responsibilities Council of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany.  Endorsers: Altamont Main Street USA, Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace, Bethlehem Indivisible, Capital Women, Peace Action, Veterans for Peace, Democratic Socialists of America–Albany,Solidarity Committee of the Capital District   (list under formation)
