UUA Partnering to Aid Ukraine

From the UUA Newsletter: As the situation in Ukraine continues to unfold, there has been an out- pouring of prayers and concern from Unitarian Universalists. We hope that you will continue to hold the people of Ukraine in your hearts, and everyone around the world who are suffering be- cause of war and injustice. In the links below, we have gathered our most up to date information on how UUs in the United States and around the world are responding to the humanitarian need, and to amplify the ways that we can all help.

At the time that news broke about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Unitarian Universalists were also outraged at the harmful Texas legislation attacking trans children and their families—which is an affront to the worth and dignity of the entire human family. Side With Love issued a statement mak- ing important connections between the violations occurring domestically and abroad.   From Texas to Ukraine

UU World partnered with Bruce Knotts, Director of the UU office at the United Nations, to highlight valuable history and perspective on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In this story, Knotts shares background on the early UU connections to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration on Human Rights.   Ukraine And Our Commitment To Peace

The UUA has been working closely with our partners at the UU Service Committee, an organization dedicated to advancing human rights and social justice, to support an international community of grassroots partners and advocates. They have created an emergency relief fund to support Ukraine and we are committed to amplifying their humanitarian work.  UUSC Emergency Relief Fund
