The event took place on October 20 and attracted the attention of both the Ukrainian diaspora and local Americans interested in U.S. foreign policy in support of democracy. The main topics of discussion were how Ukraine's victory will affect the world order, the importance of supporting Ukraine in the American political space, and the role of the United States in countering Russian aggression.
Among the speakers were Congressman Mike Quigley, activist Mariya Dmytriv-Kapeniak, public figure Oleksandr Krapivkin, and Roberta Clark. In their speeches, they emphasized the importance of uniting around support for Ukraine as an integral part of protecting democracy around the world.
