National Liberation Day March in Seoul on August 15, 2026; image credit: Craig Birchfield The fall leaves here have begun to transform into different colors - mostly yellow, without many bright reds yet. Some brown leaves have begun to fall and crunch under our feet on the sidewalk. As we feel the autumn winds blow in, our October Korea Peace Study Group session will be led by Munjo, Danbi, and Sulkiro, three people who participated in the Jaju Solidarity Brigade visit to Korea in August. We recommend you read this Tricontinental piece to prepare…

Conflicts are transformed as parties find and work on shared goals together. One example of past collaboration between the US and DPRK governments is recovery and identification of US soldier remains. Learn more from this recent webinar.

In this September 2026 session of the Korea Peace Study Group, which occurs virtually, on the second Friday evening of the month USA time, I shared about recent events related to Korea before a discussion of how to build a groundswell of support for an end to US hostile policies towards the DPRK to open room for peace talks.

We pause to honor the memory of those we lost. May their legacies inspire us to reach across divides, comfort those who mourn, and work tirelessly toward a future defined by compassion, reconciliation, and enduring peace.

Cross-posting episode #88 from Fr. John Dear's The Nonviolent Jesus Podcast (source): I speak with my friend Colleen Kelly, who lost her brother in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. A few years earlier, I had baptized Colleen’s daughter at a very happy family event... On September 11th, Colleen's brother Bill was at a one day conference at Windows on the World, on the top of the World Trade Center. In the awful days afterwards, she met with other family members to seek nonviolent alternatives to the cycles of violence, and to enhance civilian protection.

In this cross-post from the National Catholic Reporter, John Stowe and Charlene Howard reflect on the last 25 years and renew their commitment to promoting nonviolence and human dignity.

An open letter to my members of Congress, where I reflect on a realization that hit me when the USA launched a military response to the 9/11 attacks. We still have much work to do if we will heal. How are you reflecting on the last 25 years?

Cross-posting this August 24, 2026 opinion piece from Common Dreams, written by Cathi Choi and Austin Headrick (Source): Events are transpiring rapidly in US-Korea relations. The Pentagon announced recently that the 11-day Ulchi Freedom Shield joint military exercises with South Korea would be cut in half a few days after President Donald Trump’s social media announcement that he would “substantially reduce” these exercises. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stated he respected Trump’s decision and efforts to create conditions for dialogue toward peace. North Korea’s leadership dismissed the reduction of exercises on the basis that US policy remains “hostile,” though noted that the relationship between Trump and Kim “remains excellent.”

While any diplomatic overture from Trump should be viewed with skepticism, Christine Ahn argues we should welcome a chance to advance peace. #Korea #Peace #EndTheKoreanWar #Trump #WarDrills #DPRK

Joy Yoon speaks from experience on the human impact when political relationships in Korea deteriorate and hopes for renewed people-to-people engagement to build peace.

On Saturday, August 15th, the President of South Korea called for a peace agreement to formally end the Korean war. The following day, the US President ordered the Department of War to reduce the joint military exercises.

Though I surpassed my goal of walking 5 kilometers per day in June, the 162 kilometers I walked was only 8% of the journey from Nyala, Sudan to Mukono, Uganda that 13 year old Khamis* and his family took to survive. We did not reach the goal of raising $4,000 USD for July food distribution for more refugee families. You can still give!

On modern genocide & governments lacking the moral courage to confront them: How can I talk about this? But how can I not talk about this? Will you learn and lend your voice to create political will?

In the June 2026 session of the Korea Peace Study Group, we heard from Samuel Shinn, one of the co-founders of Truth Reconciliation and Peace. He shared about massacres committed in South Korea before and during the Korean War.

I succumbed to a cold and rested from walking over the weekend. However, my sickness reminded me of accounts of people who were sick when they had to flee their homes... #Refugees #WeChooseWelcome #KeepEyesOnSudan #Sickness

12 year old boy from El-Fashir: We were at home with my mom, father and my little brothers and sisters. Then we heard people screaming outside. Mom started crying and shouting. I couldn’t hear her voice properly because everything was so loud. She grabbed us and said, “Come! Run!” #Sudan #Refugees #Children #Artwork

We used to have many neighbors. My family, my uncle Osman, and the rickshaw man lived near our house. I had many friends there. I miss them a lot. One day, an airplane came... #Sudan #Refugees #SouthSudan #Memory

This weekend, don't miss the chance to listen and learn from the knowledge and experience of Rev. Samuel Shinn, who has studied the hidden history of massacres committed before and during the Korean War.

11 more miles walked this weekend, mostly with friends. Walking is much easier with others, and our refugee friends know this very well.

Each day in June, I'm walking in solidarity with Sudanese refugees. I will share my reflections and stories from Sudanese refugees. My goal is to walk 3.1 mi / 5 km per day to raise $4,000 USD.

In June, I’m joining We Choose Welcome to walk in solidarity with immigrants and refugees. (That simply means I’ve got a good reason to exercise!) Our steps are not just symbolic, each one reminds us that although we walk by choice, many walk to survive.
