Labeled "Europe's last dictator," Aleksandr Lukashenko engaged in a sham election in Belarus, essentially reappointing himself. His efforts to suppress democracy have left many imprisoned, exiled, or silenced. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya continues to lead the pursuit of a democratic Belarus.

We had an insightful conversation about the impactful lessons learned from the projects they’re supporting. #WPS

Secretary Hegseth claims that WPS is a “liberal” and “woke” issue. This so-called woke policy was signed into law by President Trump and touted by Secretary Rubio.🤔

We join in the happiness of Sviatlana Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on the release of her husband & other opposition leaders who were unjustly imprisoned for five years by Lukashenko in Belarus. Sviatlana never ceased to plead for their freedom. May democracy one day flourish in Belarus.
