How NYC’s Ukranian Village is showing support for Ukraine
Other ideas:
From the TimeOut article:
1. Show up to a rally
Follow Razom for Ukraine, a non-profit supporting people of Ukraine in their continued quest for democracy and progress, on Instagram (razom.for.ukraine) for updates on where and when people are organizing.
2. Support Ukrainian businesses in NYC
New York’s East Village, which has the biggest population of Ukrainian residents in the city and in the entire country, has a handful of Ukrainian-owned businesses you can patronize to help support them, including Veselka, Ukrainian East Village Restaurant and Streecha. Other neighborhoods in Brooklyn, like Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay have their own spots, including Golden Leo, Rondel and in Ridgewood, there’s Varenyk House.
Veselka actually turned its black and white cookies into yellow and blue cookies—the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
Here’s how NYC’s Ukrainian Village is responding to the war and showing solidarity with Ukraine.
3. Donate to humanitarian organizations
You can make a big difference by funding Ukrainian groups directly, including the following:
- The Ukrainian Red Cross aids refugees to training doctors. Donate here.
- The British Red Cross has launched an appeal to raise funds for food, medical supplies, shelter and water. Donate here.
- Revived Soldiers Ukraine funds medication and medical supplies for army hospitals on the front line. Donate here.
- Nova Ukraine provides civilians with everything from baby food and hygiene products to clothes and household supplies. Donate here.
- Sunflower for Peace provides first-aid backpacks to doctors and paramedics on the front line. Donate here.
- Voices of Children focuses on helping children recover from the psychological trauma of war. Donate here.
- United Help Ukraine distributes food and medical supplies to internally displaced people in Ukraine. Donate here.
- Doctors Without Borders provides treatments for a range of regional diseases and medical problems. More info here.
You can also donate to UNICEF to help scale up life-saving programs for the country’s 7.5 million children (which includes trucking safe water to conflict-affected areas; prepositioning health, hygiene and emergency education supplies as close as possible to communities near the line of contact; and working with municipalities to ensure there is immediate help for children and families in need. UNICEF-supported mobile teams are also providing psychosocial care to children traumatized by chronic insecurity).
GoFundMe has also launched a centralized hub that includes verified fundraisers.
4. Support journalism
You can actually help accurate news flowing out from Ukraine by donating directly to The Kyiv Independent, a Ukraine-based English-language newspaper. By donating to its Patreon and GoFundMe pages, you can help journalists relocate, set up back-up offices and continue their operations from neighboring countries.
5. Read up on the history of the Russia-Ukraine crisis
Librarians at the Brooklyn Public Library have published «Books to Understand the Russia-Ukraine Crisis,» a list of key texts that can help you understand what’s going on. The list includes In Wartime: Stories from Ukraine and Putin’s people: how the KGB took back Russia and then took on the West. Additionally, if you want more information and want to appreciate the art and culture of Ukraine, head to the Ukrainian Museum in the East Village.
