Dozens gathered for a peaceful protest in Balboa Park on Saturday afternoon. The Ukrainian national anthem was sung and organizers encouraged people to help in any way they can.
“It’s important to get this message out there and make sure everybody is helping as much as they can. Donating their time, money…calls to congressmen and senators. Whatever it takes” said Mira Ruben. Many who took part in the rally are from Ukraine or have family there now.
“There are people out there who don’t know how to deal with these emotions right now. They’re in pain. We’re all in pain. And this is sort of therapy for us all,” said Ruben. The House of Ukraine at Balboa Park also welcomed people inside to learn more about Ukrainian history and traditions. People could buy items like delicately hand-painted Ukrainian Easter eggs which symbolize life and hope. The money will go to those who have been injured or displaced overseas.
