East Side Freedom Square Coalition will hold Rally to Support Ukraine - April 18
There will be a rally and community gathering for Monday, April 18th at 5:30 at Carl Schurtz Park (E. 86th and East End Avenue). Fr. Roy will be among the clergy speakers. All are invited to attend.
The coalition consists of local elected officials, representatives from local organizations and the Ukrainian community and community leaders. The aim of the organization is to not only show solidarity with the Ukrainian people in the wake of the Russian invasion on February 24, but to provide relief and material support.
The inspiration for the name of the coalition is in response to the Russian bombing of Freedom Square in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, when President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that every city square in Ukraine would be considered a “Freedom Square.”
