☎️ Have you made your three calls for Ukraine today? Every American has three members of Congress—two Senators and one Representative—and it’s crucial they hear our voices. Here’s how you can help: 1. Find their numbers: Head to callcongress.us/ukraine to easily look up contact info for each of your three representatives. 2. Save them to your phone: Having their numbers on hand makes regular calls quick and convenient. 3. Call each office at least once a week: It can take just a minute to say, “We must do more to help Ukraine.” 4. Tailor your message: • For Republicans: Remind them that abandoning Ukraine would reward dictators and harm American interests—peace through strength is the way forward. • For Democrats: Urge them to stay consistent in supporting Ukraine with all necessary aid. 5. Be polite and always end with “Thank you!”By speaking up regularly, we show our elected officials that Americans care about Ukraine’s fight for freedom. Make your three calls today—and every day you can—to help keep the spotlight on this vital issue! ... See MoreSee Less

Honoring Taras Shevchenko: Celebration of Poetry, Music, and ResilienceA heartfelt thank you to everyone who organized, participated in, and attended our cultural event dedicated to Taras Shevchenko. Your voices, your talents, and your presence made this event truly special. Shevchenko’s legacy is more than poetry—it is the heartbeat of a nation that refuses to be silenced.March belongs to Shevchenko, the poet who not only shaped Ukrainian literature but also gave our people a voice when others sought to erase it. His words, written nearly two centuries ago, resonate now more than ever. In times of war, his poetry reminds us who we are. He spoke of freedom, dignity, and the unbreakable spirit of Ukraine. His verses were a call to rise up, to fight for what is ours, and to never forget our roots.Today, as Ukraine defends its land and its identity, Shevchenko’s words are both a comfort and a battle cry. His dream of a free and sovereign Ukraine is the same dream we carry forward.Thank you for coming together to celebrate his legacy. Thank you for keeping his poetry alive. And most importantly, thank you for standing with Ukraine! “And glory, mountains blue, to you,In ageless ice encased!And glory, freedom’s knights, to you,Whom God will not forsake.Keep fighting—you are sure to win!God helps you in your fight!For fame and freedom march with you,And right is on your side!”🇺🇦 Вшанування Тараса Шевченка: Свято поезії, музики та незламностіЩиро дякуємо всім, хто організував, взяв участь і прийшов на наш концерт, присвячений Тарасові Шевченку. Ваші голоси, ваш талант і ваша присутність зробили цю подію справді особливою. Спадщина Шевченка — це не просто поезія, це серце нації, яку неможливо зламати.Березень належить Шевченкові — поетові, який не лише сформував українську літературу, а й дав нашому народові голос, коли його намагалися знищити. Його слова, написані майже два століття тому, сьогодні звучать ще потужніше. У часи війни його поезія нагадує нам, ким ми є. Він писав про свободу, гідність і незламний дух України. Його вірші — це заклик боротися, відстоювати своє і ніколи не забувати своє коріння.Сьогодні, коли Україна захищає свою землю та свою ідентичність, слова Шевченка є і розрадою, і бойовим кличем. Його мрія про вільну та незалежну Україну — це мрія, яку ми продовжуємо втілювати.Дякуємо, що зібралися разом, щоб вшанувати його спадщину. Дякуємо, що зберігаєте його поезію живою. І найголовніше — дякуємо, що стоїте пліч-о-пліч з Україною.«І вам слава, сині гори,Кригою окуті.І вам, лицарі великі,Богом не забуті. Борітеся — поборете!Вам Бог помагає!За вас правда, за вас славаІ воля святая!» ... See MoreSee Less
