Beleive in Ukraine - 2 Years of Resistance

Join us for a profoundly inspiring event where we celebrate the indomitable spirit 🇺🇦 🕊 of the Ukrainian people, who, against all odds, have stood strong for two years.
In their resilient hands lies the future of the world.
Ukrainians have paid the ultimate price, courageously confronting Putin's aggression to safeguard global peace. As the rest of Europe braces for a Russian invasion should Ukraine falter, our unwavering support is now more critical than ever.
Amid these challenges, let us come together in unity and solidarity, ensuring that Ukrainian children and our children in Minnesota can grow up in a world where peace, justice, and love prevail. This event is not just a commemoration; it's a collective commitment to building a future were hope triumphs over evil.
