The Ukrainian community in Arizona is encouraged to join the new nationwide initiative, which was launched in the state. The campaign aims to mobilize Arizona residents to support Ukraine through education, advocacy, and combating misinformation. It combines a carefully curated resource guide with a powerful community engagement program.
This was reported by the initiative's organizers as part of a joint advocacy platform with the organization Cactus and Tryzub.
"As the war continues and Russian disinformation spreads, Together for Ukraine is responding with truth and action right in our communities. We participate in local events and conversations with different audiences to emphasize the importance of supporting Ukraine in the face of ongoing aggression. Our resources help Arizonans become confident and knowledgeable advocates for truth and solidarity with the Ukrainian people. At the same time, we promote deeper connections with the state's Ukrainian community," the organizers said.
The campaign offers a resource guide containing verified Ukrainian news, information about U.S. assistance, key facts about the war, and materials about the more than 20,000 Ukrainian children who have been abducted and taken to Russia. Participants will be provided with tools for critical analysis, explanations of the legislative process, and calls to join advocacy efforts.
The initiative pays particular attention to political advocacy. The organizers urge citizens to contact their congressmen by phone, letter, or petition.
"By raising our voices and calling on Congress to pass laws in support of Ukraine, we are helping to ensure the provision of humanitarian aid, military support, and diplomatic solidarity that can truly change the situation on the ground," the initiative emphasizes.
The campaign also aims to strengthen engagement with the Ukrainian community in Arizona. Organizers are encouraging Americans to participate in events, learn Ukrainian, support young people, and preserve Ukrainian cultural heritage.
"For Arizonans who care deeply about Ukraine, connecting with the local Ukrainian community is a genuine way to honor our shared values of resilience, heritage, and humanity," the initiators of Together for Ukraine emphasized.
