Please help Ukrainian people💙💛
🇺🇦Many outside of Ukraine ask how to help. Here are some thoughts from our Director Olesya Khromeychuk
- Stay informed and inform others.
- Join demos and write to your MPs.
- Donate to humanitarian aid charities and the Ukrainian army. Below are some useful links (please add to this list in comments):
INFORMATION
It's important to read reliable sources. We recommend English-language outlets The Kyiv Independent and The New Voice of Ukraine. Also Ukraine-based journalists: Olga Tokariuk, Christopher Miller, Nika Melkozerova, Illia Ponomarenko (and many others!) Share info with your contacts!
DEMOS and MPs
Write to your MPs to push for sanctions and support (https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP) - get in touch with us for a template. Join your local demos (follow Ukraine Solidarity Campaign, Euromaidan London for London). If your town isn't holding one, think of organising it. Chances are - there will be many others who will want to join you!
