Demands release of KoA officers; blocks sale of U.S. beef; meets presidential candidates; and engages solidarity with temporary workers

User inserted image
In response to the arrests of two Co-Chairs of the Korean Alliance (KoA) and the on-going suppression against KoA, an action team was formed, and an outdoor action camp was set up at the center of the city on July 9. About one-hundred strong each day, KoA's action team was mostly made up of activists of the new permanent coalition-front, Korea Solidarity for Progress (which operates now as a preparatory body, to be officially launched in September).


 

Formed out of a dire need to take action, the members of the action team came from various regions and organizations. They slept outside in the sometimes leaky tent, they ate together, and they all got up at 6AM to began each day with a renewed sense of resolution. In ten days, they, who had from various movement sectors and regions, became a single struggle unit.  

The action team was unified around four main issues: 1) to demand the release of Mr. Oh and Mr. Jung, 2) to stop the Korea-U.S. FTA and block the selling of U.S. beef, and 3) to meet presidential candidates and demand their support in stopping the Korea-U.S. free trade.
