We are proposing the designation of Sumner Row in Washington, D.C., as "Alexei Navalny Way" to honor the legacy of Alexei Navalny, a dedicated Russian dissident and activist who fought against corruption and for democratic freedoms. This symbolic gesture serves to express solidarity with those in Russia courageously standing up for their rights and challenges authoritarian oppression.

A bold statement, but will it affect real change?

The road to freedom is paved with symbolic gestures like this – keep driving!

Renaming a street is a small step, but at least it's in the right direction!

Street names won't topple regimes, but they might inspire a conversation.
