Action:

Tell your representatives to push for aid to Ukraine.

Background: The war in Ukraine continues and Congressional Republicans have continued to block funding to Ukranians. In late September, Republicans removed aid to Ukraine and passed a budgetary continuing resolution without any additional appropriations for the war torn country.  The office of Management and Budget hasalready warned that funding for Ukraine could run out by the end of the year, adding that “if Ukraine’s economy collapses, they will not be able to keep fighting, full stop.” Instead of providing a clean aid package to Ukraine, Congressional Republicans have demanded major immigration reform in exchange for Ukrainian aid. Their demandsinclude permanent changes to the asylum program, humanitarian parole, and increased deportations through expedited removal. Such changes to immigration have nothing to do with Ukrainian aid and pairing such drastic measures with much needed support to an ally is a disgrace. Demand your representatives pass a clean aid package to Ukraine and to do so immediately.

Note: The Democrats are in favor of this bill so our representatives are on board.

However, please contact them to show your support and urge them to continue to push for the funding.

Call: Representative Jim McGovern – 413-341-8700

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I'm calling to thank Representative McGovern for his support for funding for Ukraine.

While he is supportive, the Republicans continue to block much needed aid for Ukraine.

Please continue to push for a clean aid package for Ukraine. I oppose changes to our

immigration system as part of a deal to provide aid, and continuing to block aid to

Ukraine is only helping Putin and his oppressive regime.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
