LAST DAYS' STRUGGLE REPORT




Yesterday, like every Thursday, now the 14th Peace/Anti-war Street Action took place. Later more about it, let¡¯s start just with the beginning.
Before yesterday, April 20, or just 4.20, the Day for Disabled People was celebrated by disabled activists and their numerously supporters – such as in the KCTU organized workers, activists of the Federation of Street Vendors, Federation of the Poor, DLP (¹ÎÁֳ뵿´ç), SP (»çȸ´ç), many student solidarity groups and even unionized migrant workers.




That day was also the final point and apex of a one-month campaign which started last month by occupying the offices of the National Human Right Commission. Several powerful rallies, solidarity activities and culture festival followed (videos about that you can watch here and here, made by Hong Gil-dong from the Forest).
The reason for the campaign: Even there are some progressive developments for disabled peoples here, of course just as a result of their long and strong struggle, even here in Seoul there are still many significant deficits, such as the lack of the right to move. Outside of Seoul the situation for disabled people is just a disaster.
The rally and demonstration before yesterday were extreme powerful and ended in a hard, four-hour battle on one of Seoul¡¯s main bridges, Mapo Bridges, over the Han-gang (river).




More in Korean you can read here, here (both with videos), here and here, here, here you'll find pictures about 4.20.
And of course you can visit the campaign home page.





Yesterday¡¯s Peace Street Action: actually the same procedure as every week, with only one difference – only really few people joined the event. But it seems not a big problem for the activists, because they are believing that with many small activist groups you can change the world. But possibly if we continue like that, the next war we¡¯ll not survive! But who knows¡¦




More pictures about y¡¯day you can see here.


LET¡¯S FIGHT TOGETHER FOR A WORLD
WITHOUT EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION!



ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, ONLY
IF YOU WANT AND FIGHT FOR IT!
