It has been months since that dreadful February night. In those five months all over the world we saw the globe become a little more yellow and blue. We united together under common cause and became a force of change.
In these five months I want to remind everyone of how much we have accomplished together every week we meet.
For example in these photos are pictures of me during the 37th annual immigrants parade. The Ukrainian community makes up a number of at least 150 thousand people here in NYC but was never represented in this parade. We changed that this year and will continue to do so. This was a tremendous achievement for our community.
Here is a quote for you all, “Peaceful protest is more effective when creating real change. Peaceful protest wins over the hearts and minds of the majority. That majority continues to grow. It is like sunlight and water for your garden.” - Leland Lewis.
When people ask me the purpose of our weekly activism I will point to this quote.
Thank you to everyone that stands with us every week. You are all hero’s 💛💙.
