I offered the following message today, March 16, at the Taanit Tzibor Gathering across the street from the Russian Federation Embassy. A little over 100 people came out.

"Welcome. Thank you all for taking time today to be here. Across Wisconsin Ave. is an embassy whose leaders are guilty of heinous crimes against the people of Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians, 1/2 of them children, are displaced, homeless refugees. Many have been killed. This embassy desecrates the soil of this city and the soul of the Russian people it is supposed to represent.
