DESCRIPTION:Protest Against Kishida/Yoon Visit\n\nFROM THE Coalition Toward Peace in 
 the Asia Pacific, a coalition of organizations gathered together to stand 
 against the 2023 Camp David Trilateral Summit, which has further solidified 
 US-Japan-ROK military proliferation and economic cooperation in the Asia 
 Pacific region. This Friday (11/17), South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol 
 and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will exchange speeches ON CAMPUS 
 at the Hoover Institution, moderated by Secretary Condoleezza Rice. 
 \n\nWhile Stanford will frame the trilateral summit as promoting“peace 
 and prosperity in the region,” the US-Japan-ROK alliance in its current 
 trajectory promotes warlike posturing, land dispossession, labor 
 suppression, historical denialism, environment devastation, and collusion 
 with genocide engendered by deepening militarization commitments. \n\nIn 
 response, we INVITE YOU to join our PROTEST from 12:30-3:30 PM this Friday 
 (11/17) at Stanford during the event. Our mobilization aims to provide 
 explosive political education regarding the devastating effects of the 
 trilateral summit. Please contact skcko@proton.me for more details on the 
 action itself if you are able to attend.\n\n\nIf you can attend/support, 
 READ OUR POINTS OF UNITY and SIGN ON using this form: 
 \nhttps://bit.ly/PacificPeaceSignon\n\nPOINTS OF UNITY\n\nOur coalition of 
 organizations is gathering to CONDEMN these harms and AMPLIFY the popular 
 opposition to them. It is our organizations, not the governments invited, 
 that represent the popular will of the people. Below are some of the 
 statements our organizations agree upon as our reasons for convening to 
 protest. \n\nWe condemn the commitments for trilateral military cooperation 
 made between Joe Biden, Fumio Kishida, and Yoon Suk Yeol that escalate 
 tensions in the Asia-Pacific. \nWe condemn the dispossession of people's 
 land that follows when Japan and the ROK collaborate with the US expansion 
 of military bases and other installations.\nWe condemn the Yoon 
 government’s brutal repression of labor rights that is bolstered by 
 security guarantees from the US and Japan provided in exchange for 
 increased military and economic cooperation.\nWe condemn the historical 
 denialism enforced by summit participants that forbids comfort women, 
 forced laborers, and all other victims of US and Japanese war crimes from 
 seeking proper justice.\nWe condemn the inability of the US, Japan, and ROK 
 to provide people with basic living needs and social services while 
 spending unmitigated amounts of public funds on inflating military budgets 
 and war profits.\nWe condemn the environmental devastation wrought by a 
 trilateral alliance that stains our soils, waters, and planet with toxic 
 waste.\nWe condemn the participation of President Yoon, Prime Minister 
 Kishida, and other event conveners in the 2023 APEC Leaders Summit, which 
 has already been met with fierce opposition by allies in the No to APEC 
 Coalition.\nWe condemn the gathering countries’ involvement in arms trade 
 and security cooperation with the Zionist state of Israel, which has now 
 murdered over 10 thousand Palestinians in Gaza, 4 thousand of whom have 
 been children.\n\nFor more details on each of these points and current 
 undersigned organizations, refer to this document:

 here, again: https://bit.ly/PacificPeaceSignon. To clarify, sign ons are 
 for organizations. We encourage individuals to show out regardless of 
 affiliation.\n\nSincerely, \nCoalition Toward Peace in the Asia Pacific\n
