How to Help the People of Ukraine Today
Instead of feeling helpless there are ways you can help.
1. Speak up
A war has started.
It's not business as usual.
It's time speak up and show that you care.
Even if your voice shakes, speak up!
The people of Ukraine are fighting for their lives.
They need our support.
They need you to speak up.
They need us to share resources.
They need us to give to organisations that can help.
Even if our voice shakes, speak up!!
This doesn't mean that you should close your business or stop working.
Stopping everything would do the world a disservice.
Stopping our work would be loss for everyone.
Stopping would give the perpetrator ammunition.
But for a moment… take a pause.
Even if your voice shakes, speak up!!!
The first thing you can do to help the people of Ukraine is to speak up.
