Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for your donation to Women Cross DMZ this year.
Thanks to your support, Women
Cross DMZ has steadily built a formidable
organization that educates the public and
policymakers about the need for a peace-first
approach to resolve the seven-decade conflict
on the Korean Peninsula.
This year, we’ve continued to build a multigenerational grassroots movement of Korean Americans — many from divided families — and many others from here and around the world who recognize the importance of ending the Korean War. In the U.S. we now have 10 regional chapters of the Korea Peace Now! Grassroots Network, plus caucuses for Korean-speaking, Christian, and Generation Z members. Thanks to their dedication, there are now almost 50 co-sponsors of H.R.3446, the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act.
We aim to garner more support for peace and normalizing relations with North Korea by educating the public, building and leading coalitions, and strengthening our grassroots chapters. We plan to organize 100 screenings of Crossings by the end of 2023 to mobilize grassroots communities and campus chapters in the work to motivate policymakers to support ending the Korean War. We will continue to work with Congressional Korea peace champions to reintroduce the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act in spring 2023. Our National Organizer, Elisha Choi, has laid the groundwork to launch several new campus chapters nationwide, including at Boston College, University of California at Santa Cruz, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and Spelman College.
Our ability to advocate for a peace-first approach to resolve the seven decade Korean War takes hard work, courage, perseverance and new thinking. It takes many hands working together to break through the inertia that justifies the dangerous stalemate. And our ability to continue to lead, in the United States and across the world, depends on donations from people like you to keep our work going.
Thank you again.
Happy Holidays!

Executive Director
