Since mid-January 2022, supporters of Ukraine have gathered every weekend at Balboa Park for rallies, calling on the world to Stand With Ukraine against russian aggression. After the full-scale invasion began, we made a promise — to ourselves and our community — to continue gathering every weekend until Ukraine is once again free and peaceful.
This Ukrainian Awareness Rally is not only about raising awareness that the war is still ongoing, but also about honoring the bravery and resilience of those who have sacrificed everything for Ukraine’s freedom. It is a celebration of the unyielding spirit of its people.
russia’s war on Ukraine remains the largest war in Europe since World War II — a war marked by genocide, countless war crimes, and the systematic destruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure. Millions have been displaced, and Ukraine now remains resilient in the reality of scheduled blackouts as its energy systems are relentlessly targeted.
Our weekly rally is a call to action — a reminder that the fight for Ukraine’s freedom continues. Join us in standing together, believing in Ukraine, and keeping its struggle in the global spotlight.
Together, we stand. Together, we resist. Together, we prevail.
Together to VICTORY!

Help Us Finish the Mission — An Ambulance for Ukraine
We are thrilled to share some incredible news about Wheels of Hope with you! Thanks to everyone’s overwhelming generosity, we have successfully raised over $51,000 in our campaign to deliver a fully equipped ambulance to a frontline medical team in Ukraine. This achievement marks one of our most successful fundraisers yet, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you! Because we raised more than the cost of an ambulance it allowed us to cover many outstanding requests for smaller medical evacuation vehicles and generators as well. In the last three weeks we have delivered two vehicles, and we have 5 more pending.

Stand with Ukraine: Join Our Peaceful Rally for Justice and Security
This rally is a critical reminder that Putin’s regime continues its genocidal war against Ukraine, and America must not turn its back on Ukraine. We must remind the public that Putin started this war and is responsible for every war crime committed in Ukraine since 2014.
Our message must be loud and clear:
🇺🇦 Ukrainian flags must be seen everywhere.
🇺🇦 The U.S. cannot abandon Ukraine—American national security depends on it.
🇺🇦 Ukraine deserves a just peace with real security guarantees to prevent Putin from using a ceasefire to rebuild and attack again.
Why This Rally Matters
With misinformation spreading—even among some government officials—many Americans are unaware of the true stakes of this war or are losing interest. It is our responsibility to ensure they understand the urgency and severity of the situation. We must counter misinformation with truth, mobilize public support, and demand action.
Call to Action: Make Your Voice Heard
The most powerful action people can take is to call their representatives in Congress and demand:
📢 Continued military and financial aid for Ukraine
📢 Increased pressure on the Administration to tell the truth about the war
📢 Stronger sanctions on Russia to weaken Putin’s war machine
Why Your Support Is Critical
This rally is not just about raising awareness—it’s about making a real impact. By standing together, we send a powerful message: Ukraine must win, Putin’s terror must end, and the U.S. must stay committed to defending freedom and global security.
Join us. Be a voice for justice. Be a force for action. Together, we can ensure that Ukraine is not forgotten, and Putin is not allowed to rebuild and strike again.
