Jung Woo Kim speaks about his work organizing mutual aid for the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (NAKASEC) during the COVID-19 crisis. NAKASEC asked members to contribute what they could to help other undocumented people survive job loss and medical bills. Jung Woo describes how sharing resources restores people physically, spiritually, emotionally, and politically by establishing a connection with others.

Jung Woo believes mutual aid is a manifestation of creating community without divisions or judgement. This philosophy grounds his politics. Rather than focus on exceptionalism—perfect grades, college degrees, and textbook English—Jung Woo and NAKASEC joined the “Citizenship for All” campaign, grounded in the principle that all people are deserving. For Jung Woo, the line between citizen and noncitizen is harmful because it prevents people from recognizing that all human beings are worthy and deserve care. Mutual aid philosophy is grounded in the belief that support should go to those in need, no questions asked, out of a recognition of a shared humanity.

Jung Woo Kim’s interview is featured in our Tell Me What Democracy Looks Like series, part of the museum's ongoing Undocumented Organizing Collecting Initiative. Visit our site to learn more and find related educational resources available in English, Spanish, and Korean: s.si.edu/tmwdll.
