DON’T ABANDON UKRAINE | Weekly Rally

Sunday Mar 8th @3 - 5pm

Location Change!

San Diego Museum of Art

Balboa Park
1450 El Prado
San Diego, CA 92101 United States

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!
