Via Love North Korea comes word of the Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) Benfit Gala in New York City:

Please join us on the evening of Saturday, September 12th, at The Times Center in New York City as we host the LiNK 2009 Benefit Gala: “Hope Makes Us Live.”

Through the years, more and more North Korean defectors have begun to share their stories. Often reported are tragic accounts of suffering, torture, trafficking and separation. But beyond these accounts lie untold stories that inspire and offer hope – hope that makes them live.

We invite you to come and listen to these stories that offer hope and courage for a brighter future, and to meet North Koreans who have begun their new lives. Guests of honor for the evening will be three North Korean refugees now resettled in the U.S. and South Korea – learn more about their stories here. Invited guests also include Congressman Ed Royce, “Seoul Train” Director and Producer Jim Butterworth, this year’s “Freedom Fighter” award recipient Jared Genser, and this year’s “Light of Liberty” award recipient and invited keynote speaker Senator Sam Brownback.
