Since mid January various supporters of Ukraine started gathering in Balboa park for weekly rallies calling for the world to Stand With Ukraine against Russian aggression. After the full scale invasion many of us promised to ourselves and the community that we will be gathering to Stand With Ukraine every weekend until Ukraine is free, peaceful and independent again. Since the beginning of the war tens of thousands have been killed, hundreds of thousands injured, and millions forced out of their homes. Currently the whole country has to live with scheduled blackouts since the enemy has been systematically destroying energy infrastructure all over the country, hoping to intimidate the Ukrainian population, force the Ukrainian government into submission and retaliation and to cause another wave of refugee migration to Western Europe.
Many are fatigued by the war, however, this is the largest war in Europe since World War II, that came with genocide against Ukrainian population, multitude of war crimes and utterly destruction of the infrastructure of the country. This war deserves our full attention because the entire world is affected by the war in Ukraine. On the global scale Ukraine plays an important role and we need to keep reminding the public about it. Our rally is to raise awareness and remind society that the war in Ukraine is not over! Please, join us to Stand With Ukraine. Meet us at Green Flash Art sculpture.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
From Shield of Freedom:
Shield of Freedom (SOF) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom and sovereignty. Our current mission is to provide direct aid to defenders, first responders, and civilians in Ukraine who are protecting and supporting their nation in the face of Russia’s brutal war of aggression.
While our primary focus is on delivering direct aid, SOF also actively coordinates advocacy and awareness events to educate the American public about the ongoing threat posed by Russian aggression.
At our events, we welcome all individuals who stand with Ukraine. However, we do not control, endorse, or filter the personal messages or signs that attendees may bring. We respect freedom of speech and acknowledge that participants may express a variety of views. That said, SOF itself maintains a non-partisan stance while advocating for Ukraine’s security, freedom, and victory.
We firmly believe that supporting Ukraine is in the best interests of the United States and the free world. We deeply appreciate everyone who stands with Ukraine and encourage continued engagement in ways that align with our shared goal: a free, sovereign, and culturally vibrant Ukraine.
