If you are in the US, contact your representatives in Congress and ask them to support legislation aimed at helping the abducted children of Ukraine.

Currently, there are two pieces of legislation in Congress:

• S.2978 - Designating the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act (and related bill H.R.5797)
• S.Res.236 - A resolution calling for the return of abducted Ukrainian children before finalizing any peace agreement to end the war against Ukraine.(and a related bill H.Res.564)

Find your Senators and call asking them to co-sponsor these bills. Feel free to use this script for your phone call.

• Save Ukraine for their rescue missions of children from Russia and occupied territories and rehabilitation programs for them (tax-deductible).
• Ukraine Child Rights Network for their rescue missions of children from Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine as well as rehabilitation programs for them.
• Voices of Children for psychological rehabilitation of children who experienced abduction, were rescued from occupied territories, or were otherwise impacted by the war.
• GenUkrainians for psychological rehabilitation of children rescued from occupied territories and impacted by the war (tax-deductible via Blue and Yellow NGO).
• Helping to Leave for evacuation and reintegration for Ukrainians affected by the war, including children.

Engaging local communities is crucial to successful advocacy. We encourage you to organize an event in your community: a movie screening, panel discussion, rally, or prayer service. Feel free to refer to the Resources page for content.
