Ukrainians Stand with Iranian Freedom!

Monday, October 3 - This evening, we shared Lafayette Park with a large candlelit vigil held by Iranian Americans in support of the struggle for freedom happening within Iran right now. Several of the demonstrators came over to us to express their support for Ukraine and its fight for freedom against Russia. We are grateful for their support, and we stand behind their own struggle for freedom and basic rights against the oppressive Khomeini regime. Dictators around the world close ranks and support each other when one of them is threatened. Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.
