Ukraine Under Attack: Resources and Action Steps
As the first Jewish organization in the world to support the restoration of Ukrainian independence in 1991, American Jewish Committee (AJC), a partner organization of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, stands in full solidarity with the Ukrainian people and remains committed to Ukraine’s full sovereignty and territorial integrity.
This is a pivotal moment, not just for Ukrainians, but for all who value human rights and democratic values. Here’s what you can do right now:
Donate. AJC launched the #StandWithUkraine emergency fund to provide humanitarian relief to Ukrainian refugees, assist Ukrainian Jews who wish to make Aliyah to Israel, and support and protect Ukrainian Jews who have chosen to stay in Ukraine, particularly the elderly. One hundred percent of your donation will go to this vital, on-the-ground work in support of the people of Ukraine. Support Ukraine Here
Take Action. The U.S. has taken important steps, but more must be done. Urge your members of Congress to support additional measures, including isolating Russia and increasing sanctions, reducing long term U.S. dependence on Russian energy, increasing security, economic, and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine and Central European partners, and supporting Ukrainians fleeing violence.
