Through active engagement with public figures, ALLATRA reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to fostering cooperation and safeguarding human life.

“In these times of global challenges, true progress is only possible through respectful dialogue and genuine cooperation. At ALLATRA, we remain dedicated to building bridges between nations, faiths, and communities—always putting the value of human life and the future of our planet at the center of our efforts,” noted Maryna Ovtsynova, President, ALLATRA International Public Movement.

Further reinforcing the focus on dialogue, ALLATRA’s delegation discussed with Rev. Joel Tenney, International Faith Leader, and Bishop Leon Benjamin to exchange perspectives on the protection of religious freedoms and the importance of safeguarding fundamental rights and open expression as pillars of democracy. Bishop Leon Benjamin emphasized, “If the core is under attack, consider what remains; you become afraid to speak, afraid to express yourself, and you face persecution—this is not freedom.”

In an era marked by complex geopolitical dynamics, the Congressional Prayer Breakfast continues to serve as a vital forum for fostering diplomacy, ethical leadership, and collaborative solutions. ALLATRA’s engagement at this convening reflects its enduring mission to advance peace, environmental responsibility, and civic participation at the international level.
