Advocacy During the evening of February 24, 2022, UNWLA held an already scheduled online national advocacy training for all members with Vera Andryczuk, long-time UNWLA member and political activist from Philadelphia, leading the training. The timing of the scheduled meeting with russia’s invasion was unexpected and unsettling, however, this training kicked off a seven-day Advocacy Challenge. Each day of the Challenge offered participants different ways in which to inform about and speak up for Ukraine. These methods included contacting Members of Congress and the President, writing opinion pieces for local media, and pushing for divestment from russia among university endowments and state pension funds. In June 2022, the UNWLA launched an appreciation campaign — UNWLA Thank-a-Thon — thanking the United States Government for the unprecedented support provided to Ukraine. The next step was to create a UNWLA Advocacy Special Committee (National Advocacy Committee); the committee’s membership has grown to about 40 individuals who participate in meetings that take place every month (often bi-monthly). I frequently attend these meetings. Marianna Tretiak, Member-at-Large, assumed the role of chair and has been in this position since 2022. In 2022, the UNWLA, along with several other Ukrainian organizations in the U.S., co-founded the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU). The ACU brings together Ukrainian American, as well as non- Ukrainian American organizations to: ● provide educational resources to elected officials and the American public about Ukraine’s history, culture, and positive impact on the world; ● implement critical work in both the U.S. and Ukraine to support and encourage Ukrainian prosperity and sovereignty; ● support American policies aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s defense, sovereignty, and reconstruction; and serve as a strong voice in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The ACU held its first major summit in Washington, DC on September 18-20, 2022. A community advocacy event on Capitol Hill, the event was attended by more than 270 advocates from 33 states. Two years later in April 2024, more than 500 attendees representing 47 states, 200-plus electoral districts, and 100 diverse “Oxygen for Life” campaign December 2021 “Keep Ukraine Warm” Campaign 2022 “Keep Ukraine Warm “ Campaign 2023/24 “Give Hope the Tools” Campaign 2022/24
