Schedule of events:
1) 2:00-3:00 PM EST at the Lincoln Memorial--Eighth Annual Commemoration and Candle Vigil for the "Heavenly Hundred/Nebesna Sotnia" to honor the fallen heroes of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014, and the 14,000 soldiers and civilians who have died in the eight-year ongoing Russian war in eastern Ukraine.

3) 4:00 PM-5:00 PM EST--Peaceful March from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House.
For those who cannot travel to Washington, D.C. for this event, we ask you to please create a “Stand With Ukraine” event in your home city on the same day as a national "flash mob." We ask that you post your pictures and the following hashtag #StandWithUkraine.
Our objectives for the rally and peaceful march are:
1) To demonstrate our unity in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
2) To demand an end to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and the occupation of Crimea and other territories in eastern Ukraine, and the release of all Ukrainian citizens unjustly imprisoned by Russia.
3) To request the Biden Administration To:
*Enact potent sanctions (i.e. stopping Nord Stream 2) in response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and its failure to de-escalate and withdraw its forces from the Ukrainian border;
*Prepare and announce further crippling sanctions (i.e., cutting Russia off from SWIFT) that would trigger immediately upon another invasion of Ukraine;
*Continue sending Ukraine effective weapons to help them defend their territorial integrity and independence.
