Despite the threat of a war breaking out in Korea, the full geopolitical and historical context of this decades-long conflict is rarely covered by the mainstream media. The DPRK ("North Korea") nuclear program garners widespread press, but little is said about why they are pursuing nuclear weapons. The Korean War, while claiming millions of lives, is often called "The Forgotten War" in the United States. Join us for an afternoon of lectures and discussions with a diverse panel of experts on Korea. Lean the real story of Korea, the U.S. role in the conflict, what can be done to finally bring about a peace treaty, get U.S. troops out of Korea and achieve reunification.

This teach-in will potentially occur the day after after talks between Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un are set to take place and after reports emerged last week of a possible peace treaty between the North and South.

Don't miss out! If you would like to attend the teach-in in person you can RSVP with this link. In the registration form, you can also sign up to receive a link to the livestream when the event begins.
