Slovak-Americans Stand With Ukraine
Tax deductible
Thank you all very much for your donations and support. We've successfully raised over $24,000 for humanitarian relief in Ukraine with all donations collected benefiting the work of THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS in Ukraine.
CAMPAIGN DETAILS
This fundraiser is organized by Slovak-American institutions and communities in a joint effort to raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. All donations collected will benefit THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS .
This effort is also supported by representatives of Slovakia in the United States, including Ambassadors Radovan Javorčík and Michal Mlynár and Consul General Milan Vrbovský. You can see the full list of supporters and co-signers below (updated daily).
OUR JOINT STATEMENT
We – Slovaks living in the United States of America, Slovak-Americans, and Slovak-American institutions – stand unified with our friends in Ukraine against aggression and in protest of attempts to deny their freedom to choose where, how, and with whom they wish to pursue their future.
We express our full support for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and for the freedom and democratic rights of the Ukrainian people. We strongly condemn Russia's unjustified and unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine.
As people who endured and still remember the invasion of our own country in 1968 and the decades of occupation that followed, we have a moral obligation to act in solidarity with our neighbors. We are witnessing history repeat itself and must remember that any threat to democracy and independence is a threat to us all.
Our message is clear: the United States, the European Union, and international institutions must enact strong measures to hold Russia's leadership accountable for their breach of international law. We call upon them to strongly support Ukraine's plight for freedom, peace, and prosperity.
We are asking everyone in the Slovak community in the United States to join our effort to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Ukraine; all donations will benefit the International Committee of the Red Cross.
We stand in unity for peace, democracy, and the preservation of a free Ukraine.
