Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“End Ceaseless War Provocations”: Activists Denounce U.S.-Led Drills in Korea

HeadlineMar 03, 2025

In New York City, hundreds gathered outside of the United Nations headquarters Saturday demanding the Trump administration cancel next week’s huge military drills, known as Freedom Shield, on the Korean Peninsula.

Miyeon Jang: “My name is Miyeon. I’m with Nodutdol for Korean Community Development. And I’m here today alongside thousands of Koreans and their allies in the U.S. to declare an end to the U.S.-led Freedom Shield war exercises and to demand an end of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund endless war in Korea. The Korean War has not ended. We’re still in a ceasefire, just like in Palestine, except for Korean history has told us, 75 years later, the U.S. is still in our homeland, it’s still dividing Korea, so we need to demand a complete end to ceaseless war provocations and war games.”

South Korea is the site of Camp Humphreys, the world’s largest overseas U.S. military installation.
