Stand with Ukraine.

Stand against genocide.

Stand for freedom.

 

COURAGE COMPASSION FREEDOM

Freedom isn't free, and Ukrainians have lived this adage for centuries.

In 1863, czarist Russia declared that a separate Ukrainian language, and therefore Ukrainians, had never existed, did not exist, and would not exist. Nearly 160 years on, and after many intervening attempts and invasions, Russian forces try yet again to destroy Ukraine; destroy it because Ukraine’s very existence is an existential threat to Russian autocracy.

We can all do our part to help stop a genocide.

Minnesota’s Ukrainian American community has organized a dedicated initiative:
