Philadelphia's Ukrainian, Polish, and Baltic communities rallied on Independence Mall on Thursday evening in support of their Georgian neighbors.
"Russia out of Georgia!"
Philadelphia's Baltic communities showed their solidarity with Georgia, protesting Russia's invasion. Georgian natives who live here in Philadelphia tell me they're concerned about their families abroad:
"Hospitals are swamped, they're flooded with people. That's what we need right now. We need to reconstruct, rebuild and get Russia out."
"In Ossetia, in Tskinvali, they're still burning the houses down completely!"
"They do not care about any standards of normal society."
"There are people calling in radio stations saying they're hiding in the basements."
"There's killing killing and killing! Killing and blood is their weapon! That's the only thing!"
The group marched on Independence Mall to proclaim their rights:
"We just want to live in a normal, democratic world. That's what we want. We do not want to live in the jungle."
