Parma is home to a high concentration of Ukrainian-Americans with more than 4,000 of Ohio's more than 40,000 Ukrainians calling the city home. With Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, those here in Northeast Ohio are standing in solidarity with their family, friends and loved ones overseas.
To show that support, Parma City Council members Kristin Saban and Mark Casselberry worked with the city and the Ukrainian Village Committee to create and distribute signs of support for businesses in the area to hang on their storefront windows.
"We just want to show our neighbors and our neighborhoods here in Ukrainian Village that we are behind you and we support you and we are here to do whatever we can to help you get through each day," Saban said. "Today we're just hoping to come out and just put a smile on their face, let them know that we support them, the city and council—that we stand behind them and will do whatever we can to help them," Casselberry said.
For Jonathan Hejnal, a Ukrainian-American born in Parma, this gesture, these signs, gave him a sign—a reminder that his people are strong and will continue to fight against Russia's invasion.
