Ukrainian Unity Day

January 22, 2023, 1:00 PM
Boston,  Freedom Trail

On January 22, Ukraine and worldwide Ukrainian communities celebrate Ukrainian Unity Day. On this day in 1919, the Act of Unification of the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UNR) and the West Ukrainian People’s Republic (ZUNR) was proclaimed on Sofia Square in Kyiv. Although the young Ukrainian state failed to survive in the 20th century, the Act of 1919 was of great importance for the historical memory of the Ukrainian people. It became an important symbol of Ukrainians’ unity. Actions and demonstrations in support of an independent united Ukrainian state will be held all over the world on this day. As Ukraine fights to retain her independence, her sovereign territory and her people’s right to choose their path in this world, we invite you to join in!

Dear Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine:
.
Please join us to form a “live chain” of support for Ukraine.
Activists from all over the world under the leadership of the CAU and the US cities lead by KLYCH invite communities to rally in support of Ukraine on the Day of the Unity of Ukraine
.
We invite you to come with posters that show the place of your birth – city, town, or village in Ukraine or in other countries of the world. Write a name and add some information about what the place is known for.
.
We will form a “Chain of Unity with the world – a Chain of Freedom” on the Freedom Trail in Boston.
Everyone will hold a poster of their city, thus showing that we are all united for the principles of freedom in the world and for Ukraine, regardless of our birthplaces.
33 years ago, “Live Chain” became one of the important steps towards the restoration of the Ukrainian Sovereignty. People joined hands to demonstrate the Unity of Ukraine on the way to independence. “Live Chain” must now show that Ukraine is united with the whole world.
.
Today, the entire civilized world is united around Ukraine. Ukraine is thankful to the World for its support and for the ability to continue the fight for freedom and independence.
.
We are looking for volunteers: coordinators during the formation of the live chain, videographers, photographers. If you want to join the team of volunteers for this event, please contact us.
