…and it is not over yet! Belarusians are taking their protest against Lukashenka’s regime on the streets of Minsk. It is a sign that a word Freedom lives and breathes there! Even though, Lukashenka got 90% percent or so, those are not real numbers. These numbers were generated by his regime but these numbers could not generate a popular support for the dictator. In matter of fact, nothing will ever create any support for this man and his rotten regime.

Prior to the elections we all had a hope. You know, hope is an interesting thing. How many times do we find ourselves in a situation when each single fiber in our bodies screams: “No way”? Yet a weird thing inside of our heads whispers, “Maybe…”

Maybe, on March 19, Belarusians will get together and say their loud “No” to the Police State.

Maybe, officers from riot police will get their conscience back.

Maybe, Lukashenka will get scared if thousands of people will gather in front of his headquarters.

Maybe, he realizes that he will never leave this earth in peace…Maybe, he will run to hide in some distant swamp.

And it seems that some of these “Maybe wishes” are happening right now in Belarus against all odds or predictions. I do not want to run ahead of time but whole world saw that belarusians are freedom loving people. Thousands of them are camping in the center of Minsk, our capital, and demand what is long overdue there-Freedom.

Freedom to explore their history

Freedom to speak without censorship

Freedom to revive their rich cultural heritage

Freedom to live the way they want to live

And these people are not alone in their desire to live in the independent and democratic Republic of Belarus. People all over the world showed their solidarity with them. Poland, Germany, Russia, UK, Belgium…just name it! Trying to contribute to such a noble cause, we, Belarusians who live in the United States of America, jumped into an action as well. We did not number thousands, but we did showed up and said our NO to lukashenka’s regime. We did so because it is our duty and honor to be with our people in this decisive moment for our country. We did so because we are Freedom Loving People! Zhive Belarus!
