The Korean War, the cause of the unended militarization on the Korean Peninsula, has not ended. American citizens can urge our government to end this war and return sovereignty to the Korean people. One way to do this is by supporting the “Peace on the Korean Peninsula” bill in Congress (H.R. 1841). Contact your member of Congress today about the Peace on the Korean Peninsula bill.
