We encourage you to join Candlelight Vigils taking place in cities across the United States to say NO to U.S. missile defense in Korea being held in solidarity with events taking place in South Korea, where the people have been protesting the deployment of THAAD since it was announced.

We in the ANSWER Coalition demand: Free Yang Go-eun!

Fifteen years have passed since 25,000 people joined the first major anti-war demonstration of the post-9/11 period in Washington, DC just weeks after the attacks, organized by the newly-formed ANSWER Coalition.

Trillions of dollars spent on wars of aggression over the last fifteen years has robbed communities of color and poor and working people of the money needed for jobs and education while destroying the Middle East and leading the world closer to a military confrontation between major powers.

This weekend in Washington, D.C., the Answer Coalition joined the Coalition of Korean Americans (CKA) and people from across the East Coast and near South in a rally at the White House for Liberation Day.

On Liberation Day in Korea, we in the ANSWER Coalition along with many others in the anti-war movement are reflecting on the many decades of U.S. aggression against the Korean people and its role in the brutal and forcible division of the peninsula.

Rally to demand a just peace in Korea and oppose the deployment of THAAD missiles in the South
