How can we stand up for Ukraine as we watch the brutal attack of its people and country?

What can we do so far away and safe in Delta to help the bombarded and fleeing people of Ukraine?

1. Listen to the pleas of the Ukrainian people for military and humanitarian help to defend and protect its people.

President Zelensky has asked for the safety of Ukrainian skies from bombardment. This option is highly problematic for the wider conflict. But can NATO act?

2.  Exercise your democratic freedom to tell our government what we think about Canada's action with NATO partners. Do you think Canada with NATO is doing enough to protect the daily attacks on civilians which we watch in horror and grief?

Please write a letter of your views to the Prime Minister with copy to Delta Member of Parliament.

3. Give generously to the Canadian Red Cross or to other humanitarian organizations for much needed Ukrainian relief.

These may seem small actions but if we act, we are taking a step as a global neighbour to stand with our Ukrainian neighbours.
