Event: The War is Not Over Yet!

On Sat., July 9, dozens of people rallied at the White House in support of Ukraine.

We joined a nationwide event in multiple cities (New York, NY; Austin, TX; Cincinnati, OH; Phoenix, AZ; Atlanta, GA; San Diego, CA; and more) to send the message: “Russia’s war against Ukraine is still not over!”

A big thank you to the many people who came on such short notice, despite the weather.

The war is not over yet! Every moment, Russian war crimes continue against civilians. Every hour, Ukrainian defenders fight and die in defense of Ukraine and the entire free world.

We will not allow dictators to create their own new world order! We believe that the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine – to protect America’s future, and the future of the entire world.
