“I am not a member of an organized political party.
I am a Democrat.”
– Will Rogers
By Michael Stevenson
For those Hobbledehoy readers who are understandably seething with rage after the Racketeer-in-Chief’s ambush on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, I am taking the advice of Sarah Kendzior who recently wrote, “Do not wait for elections. Do not give money to politicians; give it to groups and people who you know are helping others.” [Read Kendzior here]
The links below are from Timothy David Snyder, an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. [Hear Snyder here]
If you are thinking today about how to help Ukrainians, here are some possibilities:
• Come Back Alive (Ukrainian NGO that supports soldiers on the battlefield and veterans)
• United 24 (the Ukrainian state platform for donations, with many excellent projects)
• RAZOM (an American NGO, tax-deductible for US citizens, which cooperates with Ukrainian NGOS to support civilians)
• Documenting Ukraine (a project that helps to give Ukrainians a voice, also tax-deductible for Americans).
Should the Democrats in Congress unify and publish their own GoFundUkraine, we will update. I’m not holding my breath.
