The Gardner Institute stands in solidarity with the millions of Ukrainians whose lives have been violently upended and, in some cases, ended by the war that is devastating their homeland.

We support the Ukrainian people’s right to freedom, self-determination, sovereignty, peace, and justice.

We strongly condemn the unprovoked Russian invasion –a military aggression against a sovereign state in Europe reminiscent of the darkest hours of the previous century. To learn more, check out resources here.

We have provided financial support to charitable organizations that help Ukrainian civilians displaced and/or injured by this wretched conflict – so that the Gardner Institute’s words are matched by action.

We ask our network to join us with comparable forms of support for a free, peaceful, and prosperous Ukraine. If you are looking for some organizations to support, check out this list.

And we call on leaders at all levels to use the means at their disposal to find a swift diplomatic and non-violent end to the conflict and the humanitarian disaster that is its spawn.
