Ukraine can win this war and you can help

Razom Advocacy is a branch of Razom for Ukraine committed to advancing nonpartisan research and policy and to nurturing community engagement across the United States and Ukraine. We work together with experts, policy-makers, and constituents to help build a more democratic and prosperous Ukraine.

 

Razom Advocacy’s mission is supported by broad networks of supporters, including donors, experts, advocates, and partner organizations. We provide resources and tools for these networks to engage in advocacy. 

what we are doing

HOW you can join

Contact Representatives

The officials you elected have immense power to help Ukraine win this war and you have the power to ask them for assistance.

 

If you are in the US, you can contact your representatives and senators, as well as the White House.  We have some guides on how to do this, including a sample letter here: US Advocacy Guide

 

If you are outside of the US, the following document provides further information: Global Advocacy Guide

Post to your Social Media

Post to Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms.  Sample messages you can use are available here: Advocacy Messaging. 

 

We regularly organize collective calls to action such as Twitter storms and telethons.  Sign up for our newsletter below to hear about the next one.

Our team is looking for new interns and volunteers. Please apply here: JOIN ADVOCACY TEAM. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Internships above are for the Spring and Summer cycles.

If you’re a community leader or have advocacy expertise, reach out to the team at advocacy@razomforukraine.org.

what we are asking for

EXPEDITED MILITARY AID

The Russian military is bombarding residential areas and targeting civilians and evacuation zones. Incompletely or belatedly meeting Ukraine’s military needs increases the risk of a long and bloody war of attrition with high civilian casualties, war crimes, and genocide.

 

We ask Congress to work with the Administration to bolster Ukrainian airpower and tank forces, particularly in light of the monumental successes of the recent counteroffensive.

 

Europe will not be stable unless Ukraine prevails against the invasion. The United States must provide more advanced systems and munitions, in particular precision-strike long-range weapons, like ATACMS.

SANCTIONS

We ask members of Congress to strengthen sanctions to
decrease Russia’s capacity to make war, violate international humanitarian laws, and commit
atrocities.

Sanctions must change incentive structures for individuals involved in carrying out the invasion.

The U.S. should target sanctions against material-service providers circumventing the Controlled Sales
Regime
and support Russian oil price cap efforts underway.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The larger-scale economic support is imperative for Ukraine to keep fighting and win. Ukraine currently needs $5B per month to cover essential government services and keep its economy functioning.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES

Bulk orders (>300,000) of basic individual first aid kits (IFAKs) are the most pressing medical need. 

STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM

The U.S. must designate Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism.

‼️ Majority Leader Schumer has stated that a Senate vote on a funding package that includes aid to Ukraine, will come as soon as the week of December 4th. 
We need your help to make sure members of Congress pass this CRITICAL funding package for Ukraine. Please call & email your member and tell them to vote yes by visiting the link bit.ly/UASupplemental

The United States is not alone in supporting Ukraine — in fact, 19 other countries have committed more of their GDP per capita to help than the U.S. has. Aid for Ukraine has some of the strictest oversight and accountability mechanisms of any U.S. foreign aid, and this supplemental funding will be no different. Giving Ukraine the tools it needs to finish the fight is the right thing to do to prevent more Russian atrocities. 

Please help us win the fight in Congress by telling your Member of Congress to support Supplemental Funding for Ukraine!

I hope Ohio is watching which candidates for the US Senate are supporting funding for the defense of Ukraine. Bernie Moreno: “Let me answer crystal clear: absolutely no more money for Ukraine period,” Westlake entrepreneur Bernie Moreno insisted." Matt Dolan: State Sen. Matt Dolan, R-Chagrin Falls, on the other hand, argued forcefully for continued support... Dolan insisted what happens in Ukraine matters in the U.S. and in Ohio specifically. “It controls 25% of the world’s wheat — do you want higher food prices?” Dolan asked “Do you want higher gas prices? Do you want our allies to have Russia at their border deciding where they buy their gas and oil?” “If you want to talk to a farmer in Ohio, and ask them whether Ukraine means anything to them,” he added, “ask them how much they have been paying in fertilizer prices since this tragedy started.” ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/10/16/ohios-republican-u-s-senate-candidates-clash-over-foreign-polic...

November 20th is World Children’s Day, which commemorates the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child. 

Meanwhile, every day, Ukraine is witnessing the violation of this convention by Russia that imposed war on Ukraine and its children by killing, kidnapping and reeducating Ukrainian youth, as well as shelling schools and hospitals, leaving children displaced and deprived of appropriate care.

🙏 On this day, we ask our community to support the children of Ukraine by:

- Calling your Representatives, if you are in the U.S., and asking to vote for the H. Res.149 / S. Res.158 condemning the abduction of Ukrainian children
- Supporting Razom Health that provides psychological help to children in Ukraine 
- Donating to Razom Relief that supports children of Ukrainian veterans and sponsors travel for talented Ukrainian students

Last week, the delegation of Ukrainian faith leaders brought to the United States by Razom and partners, were pleased to be hosted by the Ecclesia Christian community in Houston, Texas for a night of appreciation and fellowship. 🙌

At this event, members of the community come together to express heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported Ukraine. Local medical professionals, who have dedicated their time and effort to helping Ukraine, were given special recognition. 🇺🇦

We were honored to be joined by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee as a surprise guest.

Thank you to Ecclesia Houston for their generosity in hosting the dinner, and the Houston community for the warm welcome! ❤️

Razom, in cooperation with Nova Ukraine, HTX4Ukraine and MedGlobal, hosted a delegation of distinguished religious leaders from the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) for advocacy programming in Washington, D.C. and Houston, Texas. UCCRO, one of the largest nonprofits in Ukraine, represents over 95% of religious communities in Ukraine, spanning various faiths, including Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities. 
 
During their visit, the delegation engaged in a series of meetings with U.S. government officials, church counterparts, local communities, and media outlets, while also attending a range of public events. The delegation provided information on the state of religious freedoms in Ukraine and highlighted Russia’s disinformation efforts. They also exchanged insights with their U.S. counterparts, shedding light on how Ukrainian religious communities have responded to Russias invasion and the profound impact of Russias aggression on religious life within Ukraine. The visit highlighted the unity and diversity of Ukrainian religious communities in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
 
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our partners and friends for engaging with the UCCRO delegation last week. Thank you for demonstrating your unwavering support for Ukraine. 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲
