Awareness

LiNK considers awareness to be of the utmost priority. Knowledge is the most important factor in encouraging action and change. To this end LiNK considers its worldwide presence a tremendous asset in the global push for North Korean human rights. All of LiNK's members educate those in their respective area, and empower them with practical ways to get involved, either in local projects to raise funds and spread awareness, or in conjunction with LiNK-at-large on internationally coordinated campaigns and initiatives. There are LiNK events somewhere in the world every week, ranging from screenings, panel discussions, lectures, debates, benefit concerts, rallies, and much more.

LiNK Summits

LiNK has hosted semiannual summits over the past two and a half years, where LiNK members, leaders, and experts in the field of North Korean human rights have gathered to discuss, debate, educate and strategize. These summits provide an opportunity for activists to speak off the record with one another on important updates in the worldwide movement, and create opportunities for synergy and collaboration on important projects ranging from field activities, underground railroad operations to international advocacy campaigns. Past speakers and participants have included officials from the United States Department of State, diplomats of the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, lead NGO researchers and scholars, as well as active field workers both in and around the DPRK. The next and last LiNK Summit will be held from April 19 - 22, 2007, in San Francisco, CA. See the front page for more information.
