AFT for Ukraine

From an American Federation of Teachers e-mail:

We’ve been coordinating with the teachers’ unions in countries that border Ukraine, including Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Through our Disaster Relief Fund, we’re going to send money to these unions’ relief efforts. They’re setting up welcome programs in public schools for the children who have fled the Russian invasion. In Poland they’re even caring for refugees in their offices, but so far, they haven’t received any funds from the government to support the refugees. Eventually we hope to be able to send support to the teachers in Ukraine to reopen their schools after Russia is forced out.

Every dollar we raise will go straight to relief efforts, without us taking away any overhead fees. Any money you can give today will directly help efforts to support the refugees.
Here’s the link.
