STAND WITH UKRAINE!
Honoring the impressive character, courage, and resolve of the Ukrainian people led by President Volodymyr Zelensky in the face of the Russian invasion.
GLORY TO UKRAINE!
UkraineCourage.com and its associated online shop is a collective grassroots effort to help support the plight of the Ukrainian people and fund the effort to maintain democracy in Ukraine.
Some of us have family and friends who are in Ukraine now. Some of us know those who are fleeing. Some of us have roots there.
But here in our hearts, most of us believe in the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Some of us have known difficult days, have survived conflicts that were out of our scope of influence. Most of us will never know war on our doorstep. We find inspiration both in the sanguine resolve of the people of Ukraine, and in the spirited activism of many who are waking up to their predicament.
Most of us know that war is hell on earth. We don’t want to provoke nor trivialize it in any way. We only want to help raise and sustain awareness while also directing needed funds to those on the front lines and in the crossfire.
Join us in supporting Ukrainians in their struggle to live freely, and to bring awareness to their plight. 100% of the funds generated will go directly to fund Ukrainian defense efforts, help refugees, and to assist the people of Ukraine in fighting for their freedom and rebuilding peace in their country.
Thank you for your support.
About use of the proceeds
We are aware that the financial needs in Ukraine are changing daily. From ammunition to humanitarian aid in the form of food, shelter, and funds to rebuild homes and businesses that have been destroyed by bombs, we recognize the full spectrum of monetary support that is needed and will continue to be needed in Ukraine and by those displaced from their homes in Ukraine for some time.
We will choose the most reputable and vetted charities and grassroots organizations to receive the funds that we generate through our merch shop. Some of these organizations are listed below, and the list is constantly evolving. We recognize the emergent nature of the situation in Ukraine and will aim to always address the most pressing issues of the moment. We pledge that 100% of the funds generated will be donated to fund Ukrainian defense efforts, to help refugees, and to assist the people of Ukraine in fighting for their freedom and rebuilding peace in their country.
Further, we're committed to open book accounting for this project. Statements of account will be published monthly. Please join our mailing list for updates on new designs, funds raised, and funds dispensed.
