Sahngnoksoo invites you to a House Party to to help our own Jnet Folta and James Keum go on an exposure trip to South Korea. Enjoy delicious homecooked Korean food, learn about powerful social justice movements in Korea, and hang out with good folks. What better way to spend a beautiful August evening?

And please invite friends!

WHY?

As part of Sahngnoksoo Seattle, Jnet and James are super excited to be part of the Korea Education and Exposure Program - Republic of Korea! Hosted by Nodutdol for Korean Development, KEEP-ROK is a delegation of American based Koreans to further our understanding and support for issues in Korea.

For two packed weeks (Aug. 17-31), KEEP delegates meet with activists and organizers in Korea to build support for each other abroad. This is incredibly important to both of us as Koreans that fall outside the mainstream expectations of what it means to be Korean, Korean American, and part of the Korean diaspora. 

What is KEEP?

Nodutdol explains it best here
( http://nodutdol.org/index.php/KEEP/)

To participate in KEEP, delegates are required to apply, participate in 6 study sessions with participants from around the country, and act as representatives of their affliated organizations, Nodutdol, and the KEEP program in Korea.
This year, the aim of KEEP-ROK is to learn about Korea's ongoing struggle for democracy and justice, build with social movement organizations in South Korea, work to end militarism and build democracy in Korea and beyond. 

About Sahngnoksoo:

Sahngnoksoo is a Seattle-based organization working to build political power for the self-determination and liberation of Koreans of all identities. Sahngnoksoo formed in 2007 out of a desire to unite progressive Koreans for social change, and to create an organized progressive voice in the Korean American community. Sahngnoksoo has also provided a community for us as a network of "other" Koreans: folks that are adoptees, queer and/or trans, mixed race, disabled, survivors, and all our complexities!

"I am totally confident not that the world will get better, but that we should not give up the game before all the cards have been played. The metaphor is deliberate; life is a gamble. Not to play is to foreclose any chance of winning. To play, to act, is to create at least a possibility of changing the world." - Howard Zinn
