Educating, organizing, & advocating for a Korea peace agreement.✌️

➡️ Why Korea peace advocates, oppose the nominatio ➡️ Why Korea peace advocates, oppose the nomination of former U.S. Representative Steel as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, the highest ranking diplomatic representative of the United States to Korea: 

• Steel will undermine prospects for lasting peace in Korea. As Congresswoman, Steel took a staunchly conservative, hardline approach to China and North Korea, including by firmly opposing efforts to end the Korean War. Steel does not represent the interests of the majority of U.S. voters who want peace and dialogue with North Korea. Over 400 South Korean civic groups have already raised concerns about her appointment, while some far‑right fringe groups have been energized by it in part due to her prior support of the now-impeached and far-right former President Yoon Suk Yeol.

 • Steel has promoted increased U.S. military spending for forever war. Steel has advocated for increased military funding and a more aggressive defense postureunder the theme of “deterring North Korea” and “countering China.” Increasing military spending fuels arms races, deepens mistrust between countries, and further destabilizes international relations and diverts critical funds away from genuine peace-building initiatives. 

• Steel has failed Korean American and Asian American communities. Steel has promoted divisive rhetoric and even used inflammatory “McCarthyist” imagery in campaign ads against political opponents of Asian descent, directly harming Asian American and immigrant communities.

🔔 NO MONEY FOR WAR! Take action on the National De 🔔 NO MONEY FOR WAR! Take action on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) now!

Congress is beginning to draft the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027; this is the bill that funds the Department of Defense, and by extension the U.S. military, and dictates a large chunk of U.S. defense policy.

Why does this matter for peace efforts in Korea? The NDAA outlines Congressional military spending priorities in Korea. The 2026 NDAA exacerbated conditions by:

* Blocking the U.S. from returning wartime operational control of South Korea’s military back to the South Korean government for the first time ever
* Preventing the reduction of 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea for the first time in 5 years

Members of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) are now fielding policy and budget requests from the public before they draft the first version of the bill. Our main goal right now is to push elected officials to adopt policy language that will not block efforts for Korea peace. Our demands include:

* An official plan for a peace process to formally end the Korean War
* Challenge the joint U.S.-South Korea war drills
* Stronger transparency around Pacific Deterrence Initiative spending

We must challenge these harmful, ineffective, and costly policies head-on. We can no longer spend endlessly to flame the fans of forever war in Korea. Urge your representatives to stop military escalation at bit.ly/actndaa or the link in bio 🔗

📞 Power Hour 📞 Support the Peace on the Korean Pen 📞 Power Hour 📞 Support the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act!

Join us next Thursday, December 11 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET for an end-of-year phone banking session, where we’ll urge members of Congress to support H.R.1841, the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act (PKPA). The PKPA calls for serious, urgent diplomacy in pursuit of a binding peace agreement to formally end the Korean War, a review of the travel restrictions to North Korea, and establishment of liaison offices in the US and North Korea. 

The unresolved state of war is the root cause of tensions and militarism in Korea. Decades of pressure-based tactics — in the form of sanctions, isolation, and military threats — have failed to achieve US goals such as denuclearization and improved human rights and, in fact, have only exacerbated the problem. A peace agreement is the most realistic and effective method for resolving the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
