The unresolved status of the Korean War is the root cause of conflict, militarism, and nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula. Guided by the Social Principles, Church and Society is co-organizing this event to stand in solidarity with the people of Korea.
Every year, Korea Peace Advocacy Week brings hundreds of people around the country to participate in meetings with their members of Congress to advocate for legislation supporting peace in Korea.
Participants of the 2025 Korea Peace Advocacy Week will join two or three half-hour virtual meetings with the Congressional staff of their Representative and Senators, sharing personal stories and urging members to support legislation focused on Korean peace. We may arrange in-person visits on the Hill for the DC, MD, and VA constituents.
This nationally coordinated action is particularly timely as tensions on the Korean Peninsula run dangerously high. It’s clear we need a non-military solution to the security crisis in Korea—now. We need to call for serious, urgent diplomacy in pursuit of a binding peace agreement to formally end the Korean War.
The registration closes on May 16, 2025, at midnight.
All participants will have access to an online training session via Zoom on Thursday, May 29, at 8 p.m. ET.
