Ukraine Action Summit: Fall 2023
About the event
The American Coalition for Ukraine is holding the third Ukraine Action Summit in Washington, D.C. on October 22-24, 2023.
We invite individuals and organizations — from within as well as beyond the Ukrainian community — who are invested in advocating our elected officials to continue helping Ukraine to prevail against the Russian invasion.
The Summit will consist of panel discussions, a collaborative advocacy training and Congressional meetings on Capitol Hill.
