Campaign to Collect 1,000,000 Signatures
- South Korean Government Should Immediately Send Emergency Food to North Korea
As the news of death by starvation in North Korea increases, various religious leaders (Christian ministers, Catholic priests, Buddhist monks, etc.) held a conference in Seoul, South Korea on June 2, 2008, and demanded the South Korean Government to immediately pledge 200,000 MT emergency food aid to North Korea. Hundred thousand North Koreans, young and old, live on eating water-like porridge only once or twice a day, and many of them could not even go to work or school because they are too weak to move. Unless they are fed right away, many more will face death by starvation. They need our help.
Motivated by the success of our campaign to collect 10,000 signatures from overseas Koreans, GoodFriends USA and the Jungto Society initiated a new campaign on July 1st to collect 1 million signatures from around the world, including South Korea.
