The work of Action-PSJ and our many partners both here and in Ukraine has never been more needed. Just like your support. Please read below and take action. Praying for a cease-fire.
Greetings Today is the 11th day of the war and it is International Women's Day . As I continue to watch the news with horror, I still find a bittersweet sense of pride and awe. I am beyond amazed by the spirit and strength of Ukraine--its people and communities. I watch and listen to President Zelinsky with such admiration as he proudly proclaims his Jewish history in a country and, if I am being honest,--a world -that has a complicated history with Jews. Click here for a news report on President Zelinsky's address to world Jewish leaders.
On-the-Ground Reports We are in daily communication with our network of volunteer Community Care Coordinators and our partners in Ukraine to get urgent help to them AND to support their emerging long-term needs. Every day we hear reports from our communities about how they are beginning to run out of basic food and prescription medicines. The reports from Mariupol are even more troubling. communities ( Read this very disturbing report here ) You can also read about one of Action-PSJ’s many local partners,an emergency health clinic in Dnipro.
You Can Help Donate and encourage your family and friends to donate- we need to be prepared for any and all needs both now and in the long term.
Shop for Action-PSJ's emergency supply list. As needs emerge we add items. We have been asked to create and send activity kits for children and the elderly. This would make a great family or community project.
Reach out to your legislators. See this campaign from the Jewish Federation and be sure to mention the need for an immediate cease-fire and SAFE Humanitarian Aid corridors. Continue to advocate that the home-bound elderly are included in evacuation plans.
