DESCRIPTION:The story of the U.S. and the Korean Peninsula continues to change at a 
 rapid pace. We saw (and for now still seem to have) an "Olympic Truce", and 
 the hope of a possible meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. 
 Lurking in the weeds is a series of personnel shifts in the White House 
 diplomacy regime that may bring everyone back to a hawkish footing. We dare 
 not take our eyes off of the proceedings - thus the next PASMC meeting will 
 once again focus on that part of the world.\n\nWith the help of south bay 
 activist, writer and lecturer Dr. Sharat G. Lin, we will try to get caught 
 up with what has happened, what it means for the region and what could 
 come. On Sunday, April 8, Sharat will give a talk and visual presentation 
 entitled "Prospects for Peace With North Korea." \n\nNorth Korea is perhaps 
 the single most demonized and least understood country on Earth. After 70 
 years of diplomatic isolation, relentless sanctions, a devastating war and 
 apparent threats of nuclear confrontation, what makes peace and 
 reconciliation possible after a round of Olympic diplomacy? This is a 
 question that Sharat Lin has asked and on which he will share his thoughts 
 on April 8. He has traveled to North Korea to see firsthand what the 
 country is really like, and he presents an eye-opening picture of a place 
 few Americans have ever seen. Sharat will also explore a viable road to 
 peace with North Korea.\n\nDr. Sharat Lin is a research fellow and past 
 president of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center. He is also on the Board 
 of Advisors of the Initiative for Equality. He writes and lectures on 
 global political economy, labor migration, social movements, and public 
 health. Sharat is also an educator, community organizer, photojournalist, 
 artist, and peace dancer.\n\nWe invite you to join us on Sunday, April 8, 
 for an evening of unique perspectives and ideas on the "Prospects for Peace 
 with North Korea." The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n\nFree, 
 contributions welcome.\n
