Ready to take the next step?
This is a movement of many. We are now mobilizing our volunteers, program participants and partners to provide immediate assistance to our families, friends and colleagues in Ukraine. The most pressing need are money, moral support, and assistance with evacuation of women, children, elderly, and people with disabilities. For many it is already too late.
Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our advocacy goals, money to help us grow, or energy to put political pressure on our governments to change, we need you on our team.
“No matter how you may try to justify it. You can never justify war. On the other hand, you don’t need to justify peace – it is always beautiful.”
