(EN) December 22, 2024: The Struggle for Namtaeryeong - The Longest and Coldest 28 Hours

"Citizens! Please gather in the Ugeumti* of 2024, Namtaeryeong!”
*Ugeumti, or Ugeumchi, is the historical site of one of the last battles (1894) of the Donghak Peasant Revolution, an anti-feudal, anti-colonial egalitarian revolutionary movement. "Pull over, pull over, it’s the police that is blocking the planned peaceful tractor march to Seoul."
"I'll stay here until morning. The farmers will take full responsibility." "Let's do this together!"
"I, too, am a victim of the deep-seated discrimination, hatred, and violence in this society."
“I felt as though the farmers were a part of me. A deep sense of solidarity arose in me as I felt that I had to stand together with various groups marginalized by society.”
"On the longest solstice night of the year, I have comrades that make my heart sing."
