With hopes of chaos caused by the martial law being resolved, today marks the 77th anniversary of the Jeju 4.3 massacre in South Korea. Just a quick reminder of our online film screening event put together in recognition of the stories far to often erased and forgotten.

BREAKING: South Korean court unanimously removes Yoon from office — a huge win for the Korean peoples’ democracy movement! We look now to lasting changes: ending the 75+ year war and “permanent emergency state.”

Read more context from Executive Director Cathi Choi below ⬇️⬇️
South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has been indicted for insurrection.

@cathichoi.bsky.social explains the lead-up to Yoon's charges—and the role of the U.S. in "Korea’s dark history of authoritarian crackdowns."
After Failed Coup, South Korea's President Could Be Impeached Tomorrow
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law earlier this week. In response, a mass movement of South Koreans took to the streets to call for his resignation.
