NKFC Executive Committee Letter to President Trump

Today, the NKFC Executive Committee delivered a letter to the White House congratulating President Trump on a decisive, human rights focused speech  to the South Korean National Assembly. The President addressed the grave human rights situation in North Korea and gave hope to the millions of oppressed in the North.

We also asked President Trump to tell Xi Jinping to stop violating international law by forcibly repatriating North Korean refugees.

Petition Calling on the U.S. Senate to Take Action on North Korea and Promote Freedom and Human Rights

Recent provocations by the North Korean regime demand a response. There are several bills that have overwhelmingly passed the U.S. House of Representatives this year with strong bipartisan support, yet no corresponding action has been taken in the the U.S. Senate. Your Senator needs to hear from YOU. Please join the North Korea Freedom Coalition’s petition to the Senate by adding your name in support of the bipartisan legislation listed below. Your name, city, and zip code will be included with the letter that the North Korea Freedom Coalition will hand deliver to your Senator’s office on Capitol Hill.
By joining this petition your Senator will know you want action to promote freedom and human rights for the suffering people of North Korea.

Sign the Petition to Xi Jinping


Please help North Korea Freedom Coalition collect signatures to be delivered to President Xi Jinping through various Chinese Embassies. This is an important cause as China is the “gate-keeper” to so many issues surrounding North Korean refugees and other issues involving North Korea.
