Picture
Putin’s war in Ukraine has quickly escalated into a refugee crisis where nearly 900,000 people have been displaced across borders — with the prospect of millions more fleeing the country in the near future. And, as with any crisis, the impacts will not be evenly distributed. Already we are seeing women and children fleeing their homes without the guarantee of protection, elders and people with disabilities stranded, and people of color de-prioritized in refugee responses.

UUSC is often called to respond to unexpected crises and provide resources to communities whose needs are urgent and access to aid is limited. 

Donate to our Emergency Response Fund to ensure UUSC is always ready to provide relief, including our developing work to protect the rights of Ukrainian refugees.

As a result of our response to the Syrian refugee crisis in Eastern Europe, UUSC has strong relationships with refugee rights organizations across the region. One partner, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, is already responding to the current crisis by providing free legal assistance, counseling, and representation, so that Ukrainian asylum seekers receive temporary protection immediately.

Instead of reacting with a one-size-fits-all approach, UUSC takes the time to identify partner organizations on the ground who are best positioned to respond. They know the affected communities and how to address the most pressing needs in a way that leads to an equitable recovery and honors the right to self-determination.

Thank you for your committed support. Please give generously in this time of great need.

    In solidarity,
