On Saturday, March 22, at 11:00 a.m., there will be a rally in the Public Square, a.k.a. Seventh Street Park, in support of Ukraine's independence.
On February 28, the U.S. voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Moscow's actions and supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity. In doing so, the U.S. voted with Russia, North Korea, and Belarus and not with our European allies. This shocking vote was a wakeup call for those invested in maintaining the world order established with the formation of NATO in 1949, which has largely maintained peace in our lifetimes. The rally on Saturday calls on the U.S. government to continue its support for Ukraine in its struggle to resist Russia's illegal invasion of its country.
Speakers at the rally will include Malcolm Nance, a national security expert who has been a contributor to MSNBC and who served in the Ukrainian Army's International Legion. Other speakers will be members of the local Ukrainian-American community and representatives of groups supporting Ukraine.
The rally is sponsored by IndivisibleColumbiaNY, Columbia County Democratic Committee, Medical Relief for Ukraine, Ukraine Solidarity Capital District, and THIRD ACT Upstate New York.
