Mark your calendars! The Center for Peace and Justice and LiNK (Liberty In North Korea) are hosting an event this Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.
We are honored to have LiNK representatives on our campus. They travel to communities across the country and provide a personal look into the challenges the North Korean people face, as well as changes happening inside the country.
Right now, 24 million people in North Korea face the most repressive regime in the world, where people are denied their most basic human rights. This statistic is staggering, but each one of us can do something to bring justice and freedom to the Korean people.
LiNK offers practical ways to support the Korean people as they overcome one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Come Thursday night and listen to how we can stand and support the people of North Korea.
Let me know if you have any questions!
