Past Events & Programs
"Nonggi" Banner Making Workshop
On June 15, 2024, MILPA (Movement of Immigrant Leaders in PA), New Sanctuary Movement, and Woori Center held the "Nonggi" Banner-Making Workshop. This event celebrated the 12th anniversary of DACA and advocated for Driver's Licenses for All and Citizenship for All. Participants crafted meaningful messages to support these campaigns and highlight the strength of the immigrant community. These banners were later brought to the Youth-led Action in Harrisburg, promoting the Driver's Licenses for All campaign.
Woori Gala: Stronger Together
On June 1, 2024, we held our first-ever gala not only to celebrate Woori Center's first five years but also our communities' strength and togetherness. We had over 200 participants joining the gala, and over 20 people volunteering for the event. We savored the food, enjoyed the performances, and honored awardees for their contribution to our community. Although the celebration is over, this is not the end, but just the beginning of our journey!
Free Chol Soo Lee Documentary Screening Event
On January 27th, 2024, Woori Center organized a free screening of Free Chol Soo Lee at the PASSi Evergreen Center in collaboration with Philadelphia SESAMO (People in Solidarity with the Sewol Families for Truth and a Safer Society). The documentary tells the story of Chol Soo Lee, a Korean American immigrant who was wrongly imprisoned for 10 years for a crime he did not commit. After the film, more than 50 community members joined us in small group discussions exploring the intricacies of the US criminal justice system, racism, and the transformative potential of the pan-Asian movement.
