Photos from the KEEP 2012 send-off fundraiser last Saturday. It was a great and loving gathering of radical korean folk. KEEP 2010ers in NYC came out in force (pictured)! Meejin shared her experience from KEEP2010 and how it threads through to her work today with groups like CAAAV (woohoo). And, the family keeps growing. 

Amazing to be reminded how much queer Korean and POC folk are active in, support and help drive multi-issue movements for justice, self-determination, and liberation, as well as local cultures of resistance. (Not because it’s strategic or generous, but because it’s necessary for our own survival and the survival of those whom we love.) Case in point would be the recent and awesome CPR-led Stop and Frisk anti-policing local organizing work.

What is KEEP
The mission of KEEP is to increase awareness of and strengthen the global movement for peace and justice on the Korean peninsula and in the United States and North America. Through building relationships and communities, KEEP seeks to broaden our understanding of and participation in the liberation struggles and unification of the Korean people. The aim is to help grow a new generation of progressive activism and community leadership. Past KEEP participants gone on to organize community forums and other educational events, created their own organizations or joined existing ones, and have formed national networks and gatherings. 

The 2012 KEEP–ROK trip
This year, the aim of KEEP-ROK is to take those who struggle against militarism to those sites of struggle in south Korea, with a commitment to continue anti-militarism work at home. Participants from across the U.S. will be going this July!

Help us make these KEEP trips possible! Join us June 30th!
