Our team at Razom for Ukraine usually thinks it's prudent not to react publicly to everything public officials say. We would rather stay focused on promoting good policy. But this is different. Justice can only be won on a foundation of truth. Ukraine supporters need to speak up.
Ukraine is our ally. Ukrainians have paid in blood every day for their freedom. U.S. aid to Ukraine is subject to some of the most rigorous oversight mechanisms of any federal funding, with multiple layers of accountability, including audits, tracking systems, and congressional reporting. It’s also worth noting that a majority of the funds allocated for Ukraine aid are being spent here in America, breathing new life into our own defense industrial base.
Ukrainians have asked for nothing except the necessary tools to defend themselves and the rest of us from Putin's invading forces. The president needs to know this is wrong and that he must change course.
Please write to your Member of Congress and ask them to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
We get it. People who care about Ukraine are going through a bit of a roller coaster right now. It’s hard to be optimistic with some of the recent public statements about Ukraine. But your message won’t be heard unless it’s positive. When you write to your Member of Congress, thank them for everything they’ve done for Ukraine in the past. Appeal to our shared values like truth and liberty. Maybe share a personal story about why you believe America is capable of doing the right thing. Then ask them to speak up and continue to do the right thing! Set the record straight on Ukraine!
