Nodutdol for Korean Community Development

🚨 US pilots in South Korea dangerously provoke China during a recent drill.

On Feb 18, US Forces Korea held an air exercise, flying over the Yellow Sea and approaching Chinese airspace. China’s air force responded, leading to a tense standoff that could have easily sparked a clash.

South Korea was not informed the US was using its airspace for war games. US Forces Korea has refused to apologize.

This incident proves the danger the US military occupation of Korea poses to the Korean people, and to our neighbors like China.

The US military occupies South Korea with over 28,000 troops, and holds reckless and destructive war exercises throughout the year.

These drills keep Korea in a state of permanent war. They constantly provoke North Korea by rehearsing a US invasion just miles from its borders. They also routinely destroy Korean land and property, and ruin people’s health and livelihoods through environmental destruction, noise damage, and military accidents.

In less than two weeks, South Korea is set to host one of the largest US war games in the world: Freedom Shield. Anti-imperialists in South Korea are demanding its cancellation.

🐴🔥🌊 BAY AREA EVENT RECAP! 🌊🔥🐴

Nodutdol Bay Area held a Solidarity Seollal gathering this Saturday the 21st, bringing together dozens of community members to ground ourselves in the anti-imperialist struggle!

Together, we made crafts; ate tteokguk and fizzy barley tea; and enjoyed incredible performances from Nodutdol’s own Pungmul Pae, , , and the ‘s Palestinian Youth Ensemble. They reminded us that culture and the arts are a universal language with which we can understand one another and deepen our connections to the movement. We also grounded ourselves in the US Out of Korea campaign and its continued necessity.

This year of the Fire Horse, the masses are taking to the streets, building people power, and taking their destiny into their hands. ICE Out of Our Communities! US out of Korea, US out of everywhere! 

Next up, we hope others are able to join us at The People’s Forum on Friday 2/27 at 5 pm for our NYC Seollal event “Year of the Horse: Fires of Solidarity!”

🔗RSVP IN OUR BIO

Today, we enter the year of the Fire Horse, symbolizing fervent change, energy, and growth —all qualities we must model in an era of heightened crisis, repression, and mass protest.

In the past year, the US ruling class deployed military terror in our streets, tearing apart families and murdering protestors with technologies developed and refined through endless wars against the Global South.

But like the Fire Horse, the masses of people charged forward in protest, seizing history, and taking destiny into their own hands. Neighborhood self-defense committees, a historic general strike, and rising anti-imperialist consciousness—these are all glimpses of a new world bursting from the fraying seams of the old.

This new year, we emblazon our hearts with renewed commitment towards the struggle for this new world. History is ours to seize.

투쟁!

Join us in Astoria on Sunday, Feb. 22nd for a community art build! Together, we’ll create a banner and posters to demand ICE out of New York and US out of Korea. 🐯🔥🧊

🎨 Stop by anytime between 2:30-5:30pm at Astoria Food Pantry to make art together, get to know the Nodutdol community, and learn more about our upcoming events.

NO WORK! NO SCHOOL! NO SHOPPING!

Nodutdol endorses the national shutdown on Friday, January 30.

We reject business as usual while ICE, CBP, and the Trump administration terrorize our communities and murder beloved community members.

The general strike is a highly effective tactic used by workers throughout history. From Japanese colonialism, to US military rule, to the Chun Doo Hwan dictatorship, Korean workers too have withheld their labor to stall the engine of capitalism.

The working class creates the wealth of society, not the capitalists or their hired thugs.

STAND WITH MINNEAPOLIS! ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!
