Peace now. Act to end the Korean War - The United Church of Canada Korea Peace Appeal 10,000 Signature Campaign

The United Church of Canada   Korea Peace Appeal 10,000 Signature Campaign  Sign the Petition This spring, The United Church of Canada enthusiastically invites everyone to join in the Korea Peace Appeal 10,000 Signature Campaign.  The Korean War began in 1950. While open clashes ceased in 1953 with the signing of an armistice, a peace treaty has not yet been established and the war is not over. For more than 70 years the Korean people have endured a constant state of hostility and war, which has solidified the division of the peninsula.  The Korea Peace Appeal is a global campaign that seeks to collect 100 million signatures by 2023, the 70th anniversary of the armistice. The National Council of Churches in Korea has challenged The United Church of Canada to add Ten Thousand Signatures by the summer of 2022.  Join with Korean partners and all who seek peace on the Korean Peninsula, the region, and the world.    Sign the Petition In adding your signature to the petition, you are saying:  End the Korean War and establish a peace agreement.  Create a Korean Peninsula and a world free from nuclear weapons and nuclear threat.  Resolve the conflict with dialogue and cooperation instead of sanctions and pressure.  Break from the vicious cycle of the arms race and invest in human security and environmental sustainability.  Ways to Participate:   Attend the April 27 Korea Peace Appeal Worship service at 9:00 a.m. EDT.  Invite your community of faith to participate and use the Worship Resources (to be posted when available).  Add your name to the petition and invite others as well. Print out a copy of the petition and collect signatures. Share campaign videos on The United Church of Canada YouTube channel.

Please email justice@united-church.ca if you have any questions or would like to be added to the list of Korea Peace Appeal champions who are publicly endorsing the campaign.   Sign the Petition
