U.S. organizations call on Trump to stop U.S. war threats on Korea

Honor March 1: Stop the War Threats

The annual U.S. war games are coming to Korea while the South is in crisis and the North rejects U.S.’s ongoing provocations. This is the WORST time for these destructive war games.

CANCEL FREEDOM SHIELD 25!

A massive series of U.S. war games known as Freedom Shield is about to take place in Korea at one of the worst possible times: South Korea is mired in political crisis due to President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ongoing impeachment, and U.S. tensions with North Korea are at their worst point in decades.

While Trump claims to desire dialogue and diplomacy with North Korea, Freedom Shield shows that this is a lie. U.S. war exercises are a constant source of tension with North Korea. In 2024, the U.S. military spent 275 days conducting war games in Korea, rehearsing things like invading North Korea, carpet bombing Korean cities, and even using nuclear weapons against the Korean people.

For decades, the U.S. government has kept its people in the dark about its true role in Korea. By dividing the Korean peninsula against the will of the Korean people, the U.S. set the stage for the devastating Korean War—the longest war in U.S. history. It’s long past time to end the Korean War and the U.S. occupation of Korea, and that has to start with de-escalation.

This March 1st also marks 106 years since the March 1st Movement, which ignited Korea’s fight for independence from Japanese occupation. On that historic day in 1919, the people of Korea declared their sovereignty, launching thousands of protests against colonial rule. In response, over 7,500 Koreans were brutally massacred, and nearly 50,000 were arrested and tortured. 

Join us on March 1 as the fight for true Korean sovereignty continues. Cancel Freedom Shield! U.S. out of Korea!
