This year marks the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence — a powerful reminder of Ukraine’s enduring fight for freedom, sovereignty, and democracy. As Ukrainians continue to defend their country, communities across the United States have an opportunity to stand together in solidarity and ensure Ukraine’s voice remains visible and strong.
The Ukrainian Independence Day Toolkit, developed by the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU) in partnership with UNWLA, provides practical resources to help individuals, branches, and organizations organize meaningful local celebrations and advocacy efforts.
The toolkit includes:
- Guidance for requesting city and state proclamations
- Tips for organizing blue-and-yellow landmark light-ups
- Ideas for community celebrations, cultural events, and educational outreach
- Advocacy resources to amplify support for Ukraine
- Ready-to-use templates, sample letters, media materials, and promotional resources
- An interactive nationwide map where communities can register their events
Whether you’re planning a large public event or a small local gathering, every action helps raise awareness, strengthen support for Ukraine, and demonstrate the unity of the Ukrainian American community.
Explore the toolkit, register your event, and help make this year’s Ukrainian Independence Day the largest nationwide celebration yet.
