UCC: 200 Individuals Needed to Give $25

Did you know the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) has appeared in hundreds of news articles in the last year in national and local newspapers, as well as in lead news stories on national television networks?

An Abacus survey found that 4 in 5 Canadians agree that Canada should continue to support Ukraine (Sept 2022). This survey is a testimony to the work of the UCC and is a signal to the government that Canadians support Ukraine and the Canadian government's ongoing support of Ukraine.

The UCC also plays a crucial role in informing and advising committees of the Parliament of Canada. Recently, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development released its report on The Russian State's Illegal War of Aggression Against Ukraine (February 14, 2023), in which the UCC's testimony is extensively included as evidence supporting recommendations to increase military, financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

Just last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a commitment of an additional $500 million in new funding for military assistance. The Canadian government also announced a round of new sanctions. As the war in Ukraine continues, our work cannot stop.

The fall parliamentary session may be the most important session since the beginning of the war, particularly for the Ukrainian Canadian community. We must keep up our advocacy work to ensure that the voice of the Ukrainian Canadian community is heard. We must ensure that the Government Canada continues its strong, principled support of Ukraine. 

We are looking for 200 more people to give $25 dollars to support the advocacy work of the UCC. We have reached 76% of our goal. Please help us spread the word in order to help us achieve our goal of $35,000.

The UCC depends on the support of our dedicated and donors - we thank you for your consistent support! Please join us in welcoming the 40 new donors that have joined this campaign.

Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Canada!
