Action-PSJ will be sending regular updates on the situation in Ukraine. Some of these, will be briefings from our coordinators and partners on the ground there. Others will be news and articles that we feel are important to share. These updates will help us understand how dire the situation there is and the critical importance of the aid that you make possible. Please give now. The need is now. Together we can save lives now.
LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN: Financial support is continually needed. As a country, Ukraine's most essential needs are defensive military equipment and humanitarian aid. It is vital to make sure our government leaders continue sending to and showing support of Ukraine.
Please send an email to your legislators. In Massachusetts, you can reach your legislator via a contact form on the websites. Please see the links below. The forms are easy to complete, and your message can be as simple as this:
Ukraine needs much more defensive military equipment and humanitarian aid. Please support. Thank you. (And if you agree please add:) The US needs to impose stronger sanctions against Russia. Thank you.
