As the war in the Ukraine enters its 6th day, it is both heartbreaking to see the toll this conflict is taking on the people of Ukraine and inspiring to see how the country is fighting with such determined resistance for their right to remain free and independent.

I extend my complete support and solidarity to the vibrant Ukrainian communities in Brooklyn, NYC, and across the globe. 

If you are interested in supporting humanitarian work to support Ukrainian refugees, please consider donating to the IRC, an invaluable resource for the families affected. Your support will help the IRC provide food, medical care and emergency supplies to refugee families.

I have worked closely and extensively with the IRC to support refugees in the past, and their efficiency maximizes the impact of your donation. Donating to them right now will help them rush critical aid to the families in need.
