The dream came close to becoming real in 2015, on International Women\u2019s Day for Peace and Disarmament, when I organized a delegation of 30 women peace activists to cross the DMZ \u2014 the world\u2019s most militarized border \u2014 to call for an end to the Korean War with a peace agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Eight years later, it\u2019s become clear that in order for the Korea peace movement to transform the narrative on the Korean War and shift U.S. policy, <strong>we must cultivate the next generation of Korea peace leaders<\/strong>. Without their energy, passion and commitment, ending war in Korea may never become a reality.<\/p>\n<p>This July 27th, on the 70th anniversary of the Korean Armistice, we have an extraordinary opportunity to cultivate the next generation of Korea peace leaders. Women Cross DMZ is mobilizing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.koreapeaceaction.org\">national convening<\/a> in Washington, DC of powerful voices for Korea peace \u2014 members of divided families, veterans and former military leaders, humanitarian aid workers, nuclear experts, and others \u2014 to call on Congress and President Biden to support a peace settlement.<\/p>\n<p>We are <a href=\"https:\/\/actionnetwork.org\/fundraising\/send-young-korea-peace-leaders-to-washington\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raising $30,000 to bring 30 young leaders<\/a> from across the country to our convening. Their participation will be crucial to sustain this movement and reinvigorate our goal to end war. One of them is Hannah Lee, a student at the University of Pennsylvania and a former Women Cross DMZ Feminist Korea Peace Fellow. Here\u2019s what she had to say:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cI\u2019m traveling to Washington this July because of America\u2019s key involvement in the conflict and its role in ending the Korean War. It\u2019s an amazing opportunity to connect with those with more experience organizing and to feel the energy of being together for a unifying goal.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 1200px; display: block; margin: auto;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/can2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/data\/000\/781\/849\/original\/webinar-dmz_copy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" align=\"middle\" \/><em>Hannah Lee gave a talk at an Asian American Studies class at Seattle Central College.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although she is only 21 years old, Hannah has been actively involved in our Korea Peace Now!
