In wake of yesterday’s Malaysia Airlines plane crash tragedy, Razom, a D.C.-based non-profit Ukrainian-American human rights group, will be hosting a candlelight vigil tonight to commemorate the victims.

According to the group’s Facebook page, Razom—which means “together” in Ukrainian—will host the candlelight vigil for the 295 victims of the MH-17 plane crash this evening at 6 p.m. at the Embassy of Netherlands. The group says they’ll then proceed to the Embassy of Malaysia for silent commemoration.

The group says they’ll bring candles, flowers, and flags to lay down outside of the Embassies. In a statement this afternoon, President Barack Obama said that the missile that shot down the plane was fired from an area controlled by pro-Russian separatists located in eastern Ukraine. Of the 295 passengers on the plane, there were no survivors and a majority of the passengers were Dutch.

Razom is asking that all attending the vigil bring candles and wear black attire.
