Are the constant news stories of Russian atrocities in Ukraine filling you with rage and sadness – but also a hopeless resignation? Do you want to help Ukraine in its struggle against Russia, but don’t know how?
Empathy for Ukraine is a volunteer-based initiative organized by Russian and Ukrainian speaking U.S. citizens who are sickened by Russia’s unprovoked war, and wish to ensure that the U.S. continues supporting Ukraine. Many of us have personal ties to people suffering through the invasion.
Poignant, first-hand accounts of heroism and horror told by Ukrainian soldiers, medics, refugees, volunteers, and regular citizens continually pour into our news feeds. Most of these are written in Ukrainian or Russian and never make it into the mainstream Western media.
Watch this insightful video with Marianna Epstein, the founder and coordinator of the project, as part of a weekly series “MUkraine” by Marshall University.
Our goal is to create greater empathy within members of Congress by translating and sharing these first-hand accounts directly with federal elected officials. Our efforts are based around two core concepts:
Donate 5 minutes every weekday to make a difference.
We are seeking volunteers who can send out the translated stories to their representatives and senators.
Every weekday, we will email you a translated story to be sent to your representative, along with a short intro message. You will submit the story to your elected official using online “contact us” form on their website.
