Dear MoveOn member, 

Already, hundreds of civilians have died after Vladimir Putin ordered the
Russian military to launch hundreds of airstrikes and an on-the-ground
military invasion of Ukraine.^1

John, we are watching a humanitarian crisis unfold before our
eyes. Experts believe that Putin's attack could be unrestrained and that
as many as 50,000 civilians will be killed or wounded.^2

Thousands of Ukrainians have already fled their country for safety, and
the invasion is likely to trigger a refugee crisis.^3

Which is why MoveOn is partnering with United Help Ukraine, an
organization that distributes donations, food, and medical supplies to
those injured in the war, their families, and those in need of temporary
aid as they flee for safety. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you make a donation today to United Help Ukraine? Your donation is
tax-deductible and 100% of your contribution will go directly to providing
critical basic aid to Ukrainians in need.

United Help Ukraine is run entirely by volunteers who are selflessly
dedicating their time and labor to those experiencing the worst effects of
Putin's invasion. 

Right now, the people of Ukraine and United Help Ukraine need our help. 

And one of their top priorities is raising money to buy lifesaving medical
supplies to treat those injured as a result of the war. 

Their work will be crucial in the coming days and weeks.

support their emergency efforts?

MoveOn members have always come together during times of crisis to support
people in need of emergency aid. 

Last summer, when Afghanistan's medical facilities were being pushed to
the limit as the numbers of people killed and wounded increased
dramatically, MoveOn members contributed over $500,000 to Doctors Without
Border to save lives and treat patients. 

And after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and left tens of thousands
of people displaced, MoveOn members opened the doors to their very own
homes to provide shelter for families displaced by the hurricane. 

MoveOn members often respond with powerful collective action in facing
crises from Nepal to Haiti to Syria to our own border with Mexico.

More than 100,000 MoveOn members have already signed on to a statement of
solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We are pushing our political
leaders to work with international allies to end this crisis and to ensure
the international community welcomes refugees. We're also preparing to
hold accountable the Republicans who are praising Putin's authoritarian
regime.

But today, our No. 1 priority is raising funds directly for the people who
are being directly impacted in Ukraine.

United Help Ukraine to support relief efforts in Ukraine.

Thanks for all you do.
